Uh, sometimes people just Use this language like, uh, in Austria, Mr. Kickl just uses some Nazi words, yeah? So, uh, I think, um, in these countries, this discussion is allowed, yeah? Of course, you should ask, can you forbid a party in Austria? The Freedom Party has now in the opinion polls 37%, yeah? Of course, you cannot forbid it, yeah? But the discussion of where are the red lines, yeah? What, what can be said explicitly? What is hate speech? What is racism, et cetera? I think these discussions are important, and there, there are also laws against that.
