Hauer's nomination met with fierce criticism from the opposition parties, who accused him above all of a quote in which he described the judicature of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in the case of deportations of foreign criminals as "jointly responsible for the multi-criminal society". Despite this criticism, Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen accepted the National Council's proposal and appointed Andreas Hauer as constitutional judge. Van der Bellen stated that he did not share Hauer's criticism of the ECHR, but that criticism of the content of a supreme court was permissible by a law professor within the framework of the freedom of science .
