Austria isn't neutral. Austria is de facto a russian asset in Europe. The Austrian intelligence helped with the ties to have the wirecard ceo flee to Russia, after his fraud became apparent. In intelligence circles nothing sensitive is shared with Austria anymore, as it is certain to be passed to the Russians. In the Ibiza video high ranking Austrian fascist politicians, of a government party proved more than willing to sell the country out to Russia in exchange for russian influence on austrian media. There is many ties between Austrian economic and political elites and Russia. In particular thanks to the strength of the fascist and the reactionary party. Also the fascist party is currently leading in the polls with 28%. So many Austrians want Austria to do Putins bidding and harm the EU and international peace.
the Kremlin playbook 2 illustrates the situation quite well.
Wrong, FPÖ wasnt in government when the video was made and isnt in government now either.
And there is no proof that "Austrian intelligence helped the Wirecard CEO flee to Russia". Also Marsalek wasnt CEO. The guy who supposedly helped him escape is an ex intelligence member who is well known for his controversial views and role in scandals.
But you're definitely right about the fascist party's ties to Russia and the strength of the economic elite.
