Austria is not at all geopolitically neutral, but rather militarily as written in our constitution. Just a quick summary what both terms mean: Military neutrality refers specifically to a state's decision not to participate in military alliances or engage in armed conflict unless directly attacked. Austria's military neutrality, for instance, is enshrined in its constitution, dating back to the aftermath of World War II, when it was occupied by Allied forces. This neutrality means that Austria does not join military alliances like NATO and avoids involvement in conflicts. Geopolitical neutrality, on the other hand, is a broader concept. It encompasses not only military alliances but also political and economic alignments. A geopolitically neutral country, beyond abstaining from military alliances, aims to maintain impartiality in international disputes, avoid taking sides in conflicts, and pursue a foreign policy focused on neutrality and non-alignment. This could involve diplomatic efforts to mediate conflicts, participating in international organizations as a neutral party, and fostering good relations with all countries. For example, Austria has a clear stance on several geopolitical issues like the Ukraine war and the current middle east crisis.

Actually.... Sorry, but i made the same mistake for years, and so i have an urge to correct that: the austrian neutrality is actually only mentioned in the constitution in §9 where the military defense is mentioned covered. The constitution does not say anything else about neutrality. There is a seperate law however which is on the same hirarchy level as our constitution (Bundesverfassungsgesetz) that is already named "neutrality law" and there, it is covered. With the same hirarchical level i mean, to change it you need the same majorities in parliament as to change the constitution. (2/3rds majority in parliament when more than 50% of members of parliament are present and voting)

The party also has continued to maintain questionable affiliations with powerful russian companies and people. All others more or less stick to the military interpretation of the neutrality clause in the constitution. Economically Austria has a huge problem. During the Cold War Austria bought almost all its natural gas from the USSR as a token of neutrality. This didn't change since and the country is very dependant on it and has not managed to come off it. And rising heating costs is not very popular anywhere. Another facette is that after the fall of the Iron Curtain, austrian companies and banks were the first to expand into the soviet block. And they invested a lot. Now they have large amounts of assets tied up in Russia and cannot seem to find a way to pull out without loosing all of them. The most internationally prominent example is the Raiffeisen Bank, I believe, which is one of the largest austrian banks. Ideologically, Austria can be compared to Germany. Very few people support Russia, those that do are mainly far-right nationalists. But a significant amount of people are so fed up with politics that they are politically apathic to the topic

As an Austrian it feels kind of weird to be called 'westernised'. I always thought I we are part of 'the west' and our values are part of and have influenced what 'the west' is.

Yeah, Austria is smack in the middle of Europe. Just because people mistakingly believe Poland is Eastern Europe (despite being geographically more western than Austria) doesn't mean that the so called "West" ends at Austria. In general I dislike the concept of a so called "West", because it blindly lumps a bunch of distinctive Nations and states together (and with the USA who have even less in common with Europe) as if they are a collective with the same ideals, laws and cultures. I get that people presume the ideas of personal freedom and human rights to be some kind of "Western" ideal, but is it really? (If yes, then the USA are prob not going to be "Western" for long if they keep up making oppressive laws). It's a strange holdover from the Cold War times when we tried to split the world into an economical and political half and that idea of "West vs. East" has since only been used by shady states to excuse their tyrannical and oppressive actions.

​@MysteriousAsteria the term West isn't a blind lumping, and it doesn't deny the distinctiveness of the countries that can be called the West. It also doesn't mean there cant be regressive laws, otherwise Poland would also be dubious to include. What binds the West is a likeminded tendency towards democratic representative governments with a plurality of political parties and a largely free media that can criticize or support state and partisan actors (America backsliding on abortion rights doesnt really change that). That makes the West distinct from much of the developing world, China, Russia, and the ME. It also ironically makes the "West" essentially inclusive of certain East Asian countries like Japan or ROK, which I see as the real reason to criticize the term West

A friend of mine was offered a lucrative job regularly driving Korean "tourists" from Vienna to Bratislava International Airport. The large sum of money they offered seemed kind of sus, so he declined the offer. A few months latter there was an article about N. Korean citizens being busted at the border, smuggling U$D in their suitcases to fly back to NK. Everybody was arrested and charged, including an Austrian national, who was probably the poor unsuspecting, albeit greedy, driver...

From the mid 2000's to 2010's i worked at Vienna Airport. Atleast during that time, Vienna Int. Airport was the only airport on earth, where diplomates could enter the transit zone by showing their diplomatic passports only and without a boarding pass. Not sure if its still the case today. Mainly during the cold war, prisoner exchanges between the West and Soviet Union where carried out on it's tarmac, but they became rare afterwards. Nowadays they meet in the transit area and lounges. This is usefull to keep up an alibi, because spies can land with one plane and leave with another one, without leaving the non-schengen gates and showing their passport to anyone, like regular transit passengers. So they can hide traces, because it's hard to proof a potential meeting, when one of them officially never put his feet on austrian soil. Over the years i noticed a good dozen of ppl where i am confident, that they were spies. For anyone interested in this topic, i can recommend the book Die Schattenstadt (The Void) from Emil Bobi.

Thanks for sharing this information

§319 Stgb, as you stated correctly, prohibits any foreign military secret intelligence inside austrian borders. Not just if it is to the detriment of austria but all! (It's only §254 and 256 that mention the clause of it needing to be harmfull for austrian security or it's relations to other nations, 319 has no such clause!) And the M in MI6 (as you showed with the logo) for exampe, stands for "military" and so is by law (§319 StGb) prohibited from operating in austria. And not just that, this short § also states that the same punishmen is also valid for just "supporting" any such foreign intelligence agency within the borders. So the normal criminal code already forbids almost everythig that happens. And to change these laws there is no need for an amendment or change of constitution. As for the austrian neutrality: I for many years was of the wrong opinion that it is in the austrian constitution. But when you read it, there is no mention of it. The neutrality law is a seperate law. Seperate from the constitution, but at the same level. So yes it would need most of the members of parliament to vote for a change of the neutrality law, but the neutrality law is not saying anything about espionage. This could be dealt with in the normal code of law. Which §319 basically already does... The only thing would be that some agencies could claim that they are not military intelligence agencies. The civillian ones aren't really forbidden unless they act to the detriment of austria or it's relations. Then again everything you listed for the russian intelligence agencies -> "disrupting western life and ideology" could be seen as to the detriment of the relations between austria and other countries. So it's against the law too. The biggest problem is getting rid of them, and actually executing the laws that are there for these purposes and prosecuting their nonobedience... (and that's where austria is severely lacking sadly)

I was born in Vienna and still live here, its important to note that what the east was "scared" of (Austria becoming part of the "west" if they do not agree to be a neutral state) still happened (see goverment support of israel, Ukraine etc.). Austria, especially the cities of Austria are completely westernized, also we have western media propaganda, and eastern news are blocked, 20 years ago we had good relations with the east and the west, but today politics has gotten so complicated, and politicians are pressured into condemning the east. Either that or the 95% of our politcians are very uneducated in actual history and they actually do not know any better, which in either way is very sad to see.

​@@frauleinbird Und wie oft bist du geimpft? Wo kam auf einmal das ganze Transgenderthema her? Die Propaganda funktioniert so gut, dass Leute wie du sie nicht mal mehr bemerken. Alles steht unter Kontrolle der Amerikaner. Was Europa darf wird von denen bestimmt. Dann zerstörens auch noch unsere Pipeline und tun so als würden die Russen sowas machen... und ihr checkt es alles nicht mehr 😂

Ha!!?? "20 years" - for centuries!!!

Austrian here. A few clarifications: - Vienna has been a hotbed for foreign espionage since before the 1950s, not just in the last 20 years. The 1940s movie The Third Man literally plays on this topic. In addition, to having more lenient laws, a major reason is, however, it's high density of international organizations (UN, OPEC, OSCE, etc.) that might make espionage worth it. - It wasn't only Moscow that demanded neutrality be regulated in Austria's constitution, but equally the U.S. In fact, for Austria to be declared neutral was a fundamental requirement for its independence. Otherwise, neither the US nor Soviet Union would have given up its occupation which they had established for 10 years after WWII and would be have craved up the country similarly to Western vs. Eastern Germany. - At 6:50, the map shows Crimea as part of Russia (but not Eastern Ukraine). Legally, neither is recognized by any Western nations and should both be shown as part of Ukraine. Even if illustrating 'Russian influence,' Donetsk, Luhansk, Transnistria, South Ossetia, or Abkhazia would qualify similarly and are correctly not shown as such either.

Don't turn around, oh oh oh, Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh oh..

Well well well even Mossad Agents is in Vienna

Austria is seriously considering giving up its neutrality, fiercely took part in pro Ukraine rhetoric, hoisted the Israeli flag on October 7th and has long shown its geopolitical alignment. There’s nothing neutral about Austria anymore.

It’s not at all. Austria is neutral. We where a nazi country. We where the catalyst who made Israel after torturing their people. We also stand with Ukrainians because me and many others had to house them and let their wives and kids sleep in our homes whilst the war started. It’s called being a good human.

Tbh the part about why austria is neutral misses some huge parts. Next time atleast paint the whole picture

do you need to follow a school or college to be such spy?

Interesting

Ah yes, Austria history☠️☠️

it actually is quite known, at least to the viennese

Guess you’ll never know who Austria spying for

Just to let you know - the liberal party NEOS has also worked on getting the "espionage paragraph" amended to include espionage against foreign entities.

Großartig...

I live in Vienna and am ashamed for my country. Everything is going downhill and soon the nationalist party will win the election and war will also come to Austria

According to surveys the FPÖ the the largest party atm.

Who´s also Austrian and watching this??

Hi - Interesting video but you are using several shots of copyrighted footage from the OPEC Fund Development Forum at 1:20. Please note that the OPEC Fund for International Development is a multilateral development bank, an entirely different organization from "OPEC," which is what you reference in the narration. The featured speakers did not grant permission to be depicted, especially not in the wrong context. Please replace. Thank you.

Fair use

It seems there have been some significant developments between writing the script and uploadung the video. There has been a massive espionage scandal. Now the governing parties are drafting a change to the law to prohibit all espionage acitvities. I would like to add that Austria is socially, economicall and ideologically a western country. But after the fall of the USSR invested heavily in to the former soviet block and russia. This has led to some austrian companies having massive problems pulling out of russia. Another problem is a relic from the Cild War. Austria is heavily dependent on russian natural gas. Especially for heating and has contracts predating 2020 for gas deliveries up to 2040. Even considering that, for some reason getting off russian gas seems to be very hard, as not much progress seems to have been made
