anti-Europe platform - what is it?[edit]

What does it mean "anti-Europe platform"? Are there any anti-Asians, anti-Antarcticans or anti-Africans platforms too?

No. I watched a discussion of him today and he said that he is for staying in the European Union if he gets president but is the opinion that Austria should leave the European Union if turkey joins. He and his party are more against the European Union. TyroneHD (talk) 20:43, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

He is basically a neofascist. Or at least the heir to a neofascist movement. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 21:34, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It seems he's basically a Putinist candidate, enjoying the support of, and himself strongly supporting, the Russian dictator. Of course, Putinism includes racism, authoritarianism, "Putin-half-naked-on-a-horse"-style machismo, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBT, anti-western/anti-EU sentiment, and so on. --Tataral (talk) 19:24, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can we actually have an objective conversation here? --1990'sguy (talk) 16:36, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

can we get a more comprehensive detailing of his actual political platform ?[edit]

"putting Austria first" is a slogan, not a platform, and should not be described as such. the whole paragraph on the 2016 reeks of right-populist "creative omission" of some pretty important details of his campaign. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.253.60.5 (talk) 13:24, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation[edit]

Hi, Austrian here. Reducing -bert to [bɐt] seems to be a thing in parts of Germany, but I've never heard it in Austria; -bert is treated as a word that forms part of a compound, so it remains [b̥ɛɐ̯t]. As you can imagine, Hofer has been mentioned in TV and radio news pretty often. I'm undoing the reduction in the article. David Marjanović (talk) 17:56, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
