criticism

In December 2018, Hacker compared the survey of the migration background planned by the Federal Government Kurz ( ÖVP - FPÖ ) in the procedure for applying for minimum income with the survey of the ancestors of people in the Nazi state , which was sharply rejected by politicians from the governing parties . He explained that with such a law, for the first time in the Second Republic, applicants would have to give information about the origin of their parents in an administrative procedure, which he refuses. SPÖ party leader Pamela Rendi-Wagner agreed with the content, but rejected the comparison as "exaggerated" and "completely exaggerated". When asked about it by Armin Wolf in the news program Zeit im Bild, he said that it was “not of great relevance”. He later protested against the fact that this was directed against Rendi-Wagner, saying that he had meant that the choice of words in the criticism of the government's plans was not relevant, it was about the content of the project.
