Christian Social Party (Austria)

The Christian Social Party was an Austrian Christian antisemitic political party founded by Karl Lueger in the 1890s.

Karl Lueger
The founder of Christian Social Party, Karl Lueger (1844-1910), was a politician, mayor of Vienna, and led the Party until his death. Lueger's administration pursued antisemitic practices, mostly by not employing Jews in the city services and limiting them from educational institutions. He supported politicians who actively perpetuated the myth that Jews ritually sacrificed Christian children and supported a bill against Jewish immigration from Russia and Romania.
