Omas gegen Rechts (Grannies against Right) is a Bürgerinitiative (initiative of citizens) in Germany and Austria. Founded in Vienna in 2017, it is aimed against extreme right-wing political positions. Its members are mostly women in retirement or close to legal retirement age.[1]
History
The initiative Omas gegen Rechts was founded in Vienna in 2017 by Susanne Scholl and Monika Salzer, a retired pastor.[1][2] Salzer said that it was in response to the coalition of the Österreichischen Volkspartei and the Freiheitlichen Partei Österreichs during the first Kurz government.[1] Beginning in spring 2018, the initiative is also active in Germany. According to Deutsche Welle, it is active in more than 70 towns.[3] The Berliner Zeitung noted around 100 regional groups in Germany as of 2020.[1]
