My question in this case was oriented to ask if there are objectiv
conditions that are similar with the ?30 in Germany. You say that there are
no. But in a phone conversation with Nestor, he told me that it is possible
that the austrian militar forces want to have a more important space in the
balkanic question. This can mean some kind of austrian expansionism that I
had not thought about. It is possible that an austrian militarism can arise.

I agree. I only discuss the right of the liberals and the socialdemocrats to
scandalize. Or as I said the cry "to the thief, to the thief".

I hope it. It is time for something happens in Europa.
