Currently (ZZ) is an Austrian weekly newspaper with a German national focus, which is published by the former EU parliamentarian and FPÖ functionary Andreas Mölzer and the former ORF editor-in-chief and now FPÖ district politician Walter Seledec .

Facts

The newspaper was founded in 1997 by Andreas Mölzer and Walter Tributsch based on the model of the German Junge Freiheit (JF), which had an Austria page since 1992. Since 1995 the JF has had its own Austria edition, in which four pages on special topics of the Alpine republic were created by Austrian JF authors, but the rest was taken over from the Berliner Blatt. In 1997 the first completely independent edition came on the market under the name Zur Zeit . Since then, it has been published weekly with a circulation of around 22,000. The newspaper is owned by the W3 publishing house, in which, in addition to Mölzer and Tributsch, the Junge Freiheit , the Munich publisher Herbert Fleissner and the Austrian publisher Peter Weiß are also involved.

The newspaper is printed in Bratislava , the editorial office is in Vienna's third district .

In September 2007, Junge Freiheit terminated its cooperation with Zur Zeit . This was done in protest that the German NPD was invited to negotiations about the formation of the European right-wing group ITS , which was supported by Mölzer .

Editorial policy

Excerpt from the published according to Austrian media law Editorial policy :

"... the consistent advocacy against political correctness , against the principle of hypocrisy and against left-wing virtue terror, which wants to prevent independent thinking and publishing with the club of fascism."

According to the social scientist Oliver Geden , Zur Zeit is trying to build a bridge to the politically conservative camp by selecting his interview partners and authors, but at the same time there is an overly close relationship with the FPÖ. The latter would almost exclusively devote itself to daily political reporting. In return, the party would regularly place large-scale advertisements. The publication of a special issue dedicated to the Austrian Minister of the Interior Herbert Kickl in 2018 justified "At present" with the fact that this was of course also something of an address of solidarity towards the most violently hostile minister of the new center-right government . Kickl has become a symbol of the fact that this center-right government formed from the ÖVP and FPÖ is actually willing and able to subject the country to a value-conservative reform. And he has our support for that .

Right-wing, racist and anti-Semitic content

The Documentation Archive of the Austrian Resistance described Zurzeit in 2001 as the journalistic link between conservatism and right-wing extremism . Immediately after the newspaper was founded, Zur Zeit caused debates for the first time in 1997 with an anti-Judaist article by the theologian Robert Prantner . Medieval ritual murder legends were disseminated in the post . In the following decades, articles published in the newspaper caused public attention and criticism several times. In an edition of Zur Zeit published in 2000, an article written under a pseudonym called for an end to coming to terms with the past (dealing with the Nazi crimes). In 2001, an author von Zur Zeit was sentenced to a conditional prison term of one year for re-engagement with the Nazis. In a 1999 edition of At the Time of National Socialist Crimes, he denied and belittled it, describing Adolf Hitler as a great social revolutionary and his deputy as a bold idealist . An anti-Semitic article published in 2004 contained the Nazi slogan "Germany awake!" In 2010 a book review in Zur Zeit claimed that the Second World War was mainly led by London and Washington to prevent an economically strengthened Germany under dictatorial leadership . Adolf Hitler was a driven man who was completely surrounded by greedy forces . In a 2014 edition of Zur Zeit , the soccer player David Alaba was racially denigrated by being described as pitch black . In an edition published in 2018, among other things, the introduction of workhouses , correction options in police guard rooms, the abolition of unnecessary courses of study and the cleansing of left-wing extremists from the ORF were called for. After public criticism of the article, Zur Zeit distanced itself from it. This was intended as a brutal satire and accidentally slipped into the paper. The awarding of a media prize to Zur Zeit by the Franz Dinghofer Institute , which is close to the FPÖ , was nevertheless canceled. In December 2018, "Zur Zeit" was subsequently awarded the Dinghofer Prize in the "Haus der Heimat" of the Austrian Landsmannschaft . Reinhard Olt , who gave the eulogy, called "At present," as an antidote to the toxic effect of the impact of political correctness .

Court judgments

In 2001, an author von Zur Zeit was sentenced to a conditional prison term of one year for re-engagement with the Nazis. In the 23/1999 edition of At the Time of National Socialist Crimes, he denied and grossly played down, describing Adolf Hitler as a great social revolutionary and his deputy as a bold idealist .

At the moment and the FPÖ

In the first few years after it was founded, Zur Zeit was considered very loyal to the FPÖ . Later the newspaper began to criticize the party's politics with increasing frequency. When the FPÖ was in a governing coalition with the ÖVP from 2001 to 2005, the newspaper saw itself as the party's right-wing, intellectual conscience that criticized and reflected on decisions. High-ranking FPÖ politicians such as Barbara Rosenkranz and John Gudenus wrote for the newspaper. In the context of the FPÖ party crisis that followed the Knittelfelder FPÖ assembly in 2002, the party fell massively at the moment . The publisher Mölzer was expelled from the FPÖ Carinthia in March 2005 because of a critical article on the state of the party, but remained with the FPÖ after the party's split . After the split, Mölzers Blatt demonstratively supported the new FPÖ chairman Heinz-Christian Strache . Strache was given the opportunity to comment in detail on his political attitudes in several publications by Zur Zeit .
