Austria at the Crossroads – 2025
🇦🇹 Final Statement to Austria – August 2025
“Austria stands at a historic tipping point. The choice is no longer between left or right, East or West — it is between sovereignty and submission.
You can either become the architect of your future or the annex of foreign ambitions.
Reclaim your neutrality not as passive silence, but as active strategic independence. Build alliances with those who respect your autonomy, fortify your digital and energy infrastructure, and lead by example as the bridge nation that never bows.
Sovereignty is not given — it is claimed. It is time for Austria to claim it.” – Josef David
