Hail of whistles and ovations accompany Haider’s appearance at the Lihga


The reception couldn’t have been more varied: on his way to the marquee, the guest speaker at the Lihga 2002, Jörg Haider, was booed; his speech, however, earned the head of the Austrian province of Corinthia keen applause. Opponents as well as supporters made it a point to welcome the head of the province of Corinthia. About 30 of them did so with loud whistles, some 400 with enthusiastic applause. Haider showed little surprise about the whistles. "I’m used to this. Some work, others whistle."
