Former Minister of Justice Böhmdorfer on two tracks in Günter Traxler's "Blattsalat"

The article discusses two instances of 'two-track' strategies by Austrian politicians. First, former Justice Minister Dieter Böhmdorfer is criticized for using a dual approach in legal proceedings involving Judge Marion Hohenecker, where his actions were seen as attempting to protect both Hohenecker's reputation and his own. The article suggests this strategy did not benefit his client and highlights perceived hypocrisy. Second, it references Andreas Mölzer's commentary on Alice Weidel, leader of Germany's AfD party, visiting the FPÖ, noting the mixed reactions to her visit and her advocacy for leaving the EU and Schengen area. The article implies that while some view her stance as progressive, others see it as a threat to European integration, which the FPÖ might prefer to avoid due to public sentiment.
