Kickl’s secret troops in state protection and the concern before their return

If you want to better understand why Herbert Kickl absolutely wants to know the Ministry of the Interior under control of his FPÖ, you have to look at your short term there from the end of 2017 to the publication of the Ibiza video in May 2019. The “surprise attack” was characterized by the “surprise attack” to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the fight against terrorism (BVT): At least as his director Peter Gridling at the time, the investigation and raid that Kickl’s office had promoted. And that culminated that an anti-drug unit, led by an FPÖ local politician, ransacked highly secret documents, for example with reference to right-wing extremism or blue Ukraine connections.
