Styrian National Anthem: Alternative Legal Anchoring Planned

Timpani in the causa around the Styrian national anthem: After the opposition of the government had refused to accept an admission into the state constitution, FPÖ and ÖVP are still carrying out their project according to the information of the "Krone" . The Dachstein Song is legally anchored in no other way!

Instead of the state constitution, the FPÖ-ÖVP government wants to change the state symbol law with a simple majority and to anchor the "Dachsteinlied" there according to national coat of arms, country colours and national seals.

After the opposition in Austria's Styria last week blocked the inclusion of the controversial Dachsteinlied anthem in the state constitution, the state government, which includes the Freedom Party (FPÖ) and the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP), is now planning to include the anthem in the state symbols law. A simple majority is required to amend the law.
