criticism

As an “intellectual with a worldview that was mostly to the left of the SPÖ mainstream”, and because of his socio-politically liberal stance, Eine was repeatedly attacked after joining the federal government as Minister of the Interior, in particular from the FPÖ, then under Jörg Haider , and the Austrian boulevard . In 1995 he was accused of having donated 4900 schillings to the left-wing radical magazine TATblatt in 1992 and 1000 schillings in March 1995 (now as State Secretary). The first donation was for a printing press , the second to support the magazine in a lawsuit against Haider. When it became known that the magazine had received the national press subsidy since 1991, it was also clear that the donation was legal.
