Austrian FPÖ revives anti-Freemason conspiracy rhetoric in parliamentary inquiry

Austria's far-right FPÖ has launched a parliamentary inquiry into alleged Freemason networks, reviving a conspiratorial tactic used by Jörg Haider in the 1980s. The move escalates FPÖ rhetoric against perceived elite networks, drawing comparisons to broader anti-establishment narratives. The inquiry is politically motivated and signals a shift toward more aggressive conspiracy-driven politics in Austria.
