Having emerged from the ashes of the Third Reich, the ÖVP Party was established in 1945, after Nazi-Austria was liberated by the Allied Powers. Being stuck in time - and never having embraced the spirit and culture of the Allied Powers - the ÖVP entered government in 2017 with the far-right FPÖ party, which was originally established by Anton Reinthaller, a former Nazi functionary and SS officer; both the ÖVP and FPÖ having been responsible for hate speech and neo-Nazi activities in Austria. It should also be noted, that Austria has fallen back seven places on the Social Progress Index (SPI); inequality and poverty increasing in Austria dramatically - the ÖVP Party being a willing and guilty collaborator in perpetrating inequality, injustice and human rights violations in Austria. It should also be noted, that the ÖVP Party's leader - Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz - is responsible for the facilitation of neo-Nazi activities in the Republic of Austria, and hence a disgrace to the International Community. Having entrenched themselves in an outdated political reality that is behind the times, the ÖVP Party is reluctant to go with the quantum approach of today's Information Age. This total inflexibility by the members of the ÖVP Party is not a virtue, but rather a vice, making the ÖVP Party a cruel and hypocritical organisation. At some point, the ÖVP organisation will simply have to learn to evolve and improve itself; otherwise the ÖVP Party will just wither and die out; like the dinosaurs for example, who also died because they were unable to change and evolve. Therefore it is necessary to teach the Austrian political establishment a lesson in humility, humanity and true political power - by promoting civil liberties and altruistic policies in the world, such as freedom of press and expression; as well as a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG). As in a world where there are no guarantees and as citizens who must be under government rule, we should at least be assured that we will be able to feed, clothe and handle the simplest needs of human beings - hence implementing a basic income guarantee is an important prerequisite to counteract inequality and to ensure basic human rights in Austria and the world at large.

Other less significant actors often make further cash by exploiting Ethiopian migrants and refugees on the way."It becomes a relay, with the migrants taken from one to another agent and each charging their own money. They hijack them and demand ransom money."Abductions often occur immediately after people have been smuggled across the border from Zimbabwe into South Africa - after weeks of traveling from east Africa."The kidnappers wait for them and then hide them and send to their relatives asking for more money ... It is big business. Even police and immigration officials are [involved]"The IOM report found that close to 51,000 Ethiopian migrants had gone missing since 2016. 4,265 deaths and 1,707 disappearances were recorded along the route to South Africa.An overwhelming number of migrants said they had experienced a severe lack of food, water or shelter on their journey, the IOM researchers found. Most had suffered abuse, violence, assault or torture, while one in four had been asked to find additional money for bribes, despite already paying an average of US$5,000 for the journey.Hence African law enforcement agencies - together with the assistance of the International Intelligence Community - must bring the perpetrators of these severe crimes to Justice.Furthermore, the International Community must provide greater assistance to disadvantaged communities who are challenged with socioeconomic deprivation - so that abductions, kidnapping and murder through forced migration can be stopped.
