A photo of one of them was published by Heute.
The posters show Zelensky working with the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
Under the picture is the caption “warmongering” and a call to “stop the EU madness.”
The Ukrainian embassy has already contacted the Austrian Foreign Ministry with a statement that this “distorts the reasons for the war and insults the Ukrainian people.”
The posters were hung by the Austrian Freedom Party as part of the election campaign for the European Parliament. The party has a high chance of winning the elections to the Austrian parliament.
Leader of the Austrian Freedom Party Herbert Kickl.
Main ideas: Austria is a “fortress against migration”, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is an example.
The party has long-standing ties with the Russian Federation, opposes Russian sanctions, and takes an anti-Ukrainian position.
Rating: 27%, first in the country, according to Politico.
The APS was at the epicenter of “Ibiza Gate” in 2019, which led to the collapse of the coalition. Since then, the party has not been in power for more than five years.
Currently, APS is being revived. During the pandemic, the party led protests against quarantine, then returned to its traditional thesis “Austria is a fortress against migrants.” The organization has 27% of the population’s support and first place in the country, according to the latest Politico polls.
Parliamentary elections in Austria will be held this fall. In June, Austrians will elect representatives to the European Parliament.
