A new chapter in the scandal surrounding his contacts with an extreme right-wing politician: Eintracht star Martin Hinteregger makes a political statement – ​​and causes irritation with his statements.

Irritating statements in an interview: Frankfurt’s central defender Martin Hinteregger causes a stir with statements in an interview with “Standard”. “I know that he was a FPÖ politician, which isn’t a bad thing in Austria. But I didn’t know anything about the Identitarian Movement or what that meant. In Germany, many put the FPÖ and AfD on the same level, but the AfD is ten times worse.”

Short, compact, clear

Questionable help at the tournament: Hinteregger was recently criticized for a tournament he organized. Right-wing extremist local politician Heinrich Sickl helped organize the “Hinti Cup”.
