Political Initiatives

In 2012, Deimek founded the "Initiative for the rescue of Austrian gold" (coll. Gold rescue). The initiative deals with the exact determination of the Austrian gold reserves, the deposits and the return to Austria. Parliamentary questions and motions are included and a petition has been launched. There is cooperation with the Swiss gold initiative and the German initiative of some CSU members. On the basis of this initiative and the pressure of the Kronenzeitung (reports Gnam, Wallentin) the audit office checked the ÖNB and produced a negative report. Thereupon the ÖNB created a new storage concept and began with the partial retrieval of the gold reserves.

Further initiatives of the politician are environment and traffic (IG-Luft), modern mobility (cars and public transport) and work on “Via Danube”.

Controversy

A press release from Deimek, which was sent out by the liberal parliamentary club, caused a stir in the media and an internal dispute within the FPÖ. In the middle of the running text was the number 88 , which is used in the neo-Nazi scene as a cipher for " Heil Hitler " . Deimek apologized, but blamed the liberal press office. FPÖ general secretary Herbert Kickl said of the case that “the press officer’s little daughter” had “pressed it twice”, whereby the sequence of numbers was accidentally taken over into the text.

After the Mauthausen Committee Austria published a brochure in August 2017 in which dozens of right-wing extremist activities by FPÖ politicians were listed, Deimek responded by stating that the publication was “fake and a lie”. As a result, Deimek had to sign a cease and desist declaration and publish a revocation , as after examining the brochure he could not object.
