<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The earlier case reported by Falter prompted the resignation of a prominent member of the anti-<span class="highlight" data-qa-component="highlight-text">Islam </span>Freedom Party (FPO), which became the junior partner in conservative Chancellor Christian Kurz&#8217;s government in December following elections.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Austria is the only western European country to have a far-right party in government.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Last month, left-wing weekly Falter reported on anti-Semitic lyrics in a songbook published by a student fraternity in Lower Austria, the province surrounding Vienna. That fraternity&#8217;s deputy leader was the FPO&#8217;s top candidate in an election for the regional parliament there, Udo Landbauer.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Landbauer eventually stepped down over the affair. After initially refusing to sack him, the party later said it was setting up a committee of historians that would examine its past and that of right-wing fraternities like Landbauer&#8217;s, which are often close to the FPO but not formally part of it.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">On Tuesday, Falter reported that another fraternity, Bruna Sudetia based in Vienna, had a similar songbook, and that the head of that group is on the staff of FPO Infrastructure Minister Norbert Hofer.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The staffer, Herwig Goetschober, who works on social media, was not immediately available for comment. A spokesman for Hofer said Goetschober was sick but denied knowing of the lyrics published by Falter, adding that his songbook had a different content and layout.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&#8220;He has no knowledge of this other songbook. He also does not know who produced it,&#8221; the spokesman said.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The FPO says it has abandoned its neo-Nazi past and rejects anti-Semitism. It now focuses its criticism on<span class="highlight" data-qa-component="highlight-text"> Islam </span>and even openly courts Jewish voters.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">But the main group representing Austria&#8217;s tiny Jewish community, the IKG, says the FPO has done too little to address the long-standing anti-Semitism within its ranks. It sees fraternities as a breeding ground for the problem.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The IKG has also questioned whether the FPO&#8217;s historical commission will get to the bottom of anti-Semitism within fraternities. Many senior political party figures belong to a fraternity but the FPO has said it cannot force those organisations to cooperate with the commission.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&#8220;If it is true that the FPO cannot control the fraternities, then that probably confirms that fraternity members control the FPO,&#8221; IKG chief Oskar Deutsch told ORF radio at the weekend.</span></p>
