Note sull'episodio
Is Austria still neutral? Austria has pursued a policy of neutrality for 68 years. In July 2023, the country joined the European Sky Shield, an air and missile defense initiative, launched by Germany in late 2022 in the context of the Ukraine war. 17 of the 19 countries participating in the project are NATO members or applicants. The decision to join Sky Shield has raised questions about the future and the usefulness of Austria’s policy of neutrality. Most political parties officially support the status quo. It's not surprising, as more than 70 percent of the population wants neutrality preserved. Government officials have reiterated that Sky Shield won't put the country's neutrality in danger. Yet is Austria still neutral? Or will participating in Sky Shield end neutrality once and for all?
