What was the alternative ?
Whats now real, the EU reaction, is like a bad dream. Like it or not, I am
shocked, that the will of voters is so much ignored.
Btw, we had no referendum on EU or whatever, the "euro-money" etc, and its
very doubtfull, that the majority of the german voters had voted for it.
In Austria, they had 2 third of the people backing EU.
One could speak about the ridicule image Haider seems to have. How many
chichees are in the world about middle europe. But what is maybe more
important to know is how Austria worked in the last 50 years.
To understand artists reactions. Brad, where are you ?
I dont say, the system of art financing etc in Austria was bad. But one
has to see that it was VERY special. Austria is a small country, germany
is near, and if you had.......
I dont think Haider etc would change this, situation stays the same, but
it explains, maybe, how deep artists were connected with the other party,
now beaten.
