::International solidarity in
the face of national repression
It
cheers to see the amount of international support in
the face of repressive government policies. While State
Secretary of Art Morak and other People's Party (ÖVP)
and Freedom Party (FPÖ) politicians are trying
to ruin Public Netbase through defamation and heckling,
the solidarity and support from outside of Austria continues
to gain in importance.
An
example of exceptional appraisal comes from the Institute
for Applied Autonomy. In response to the attempts by
the federal government to intimidate the critical art
and culture scene, the American artist group awarded,
during the Prix Ars Electronica 2000, a prize in the
amount of 50,000 ATS to Public Netbase t0 for its government
critical works. This is an important sign of international
support that allows Public Netbase t0 to continue tirelessly
the battle against the extreme Right and its inhumane
policies.
