AUSTRIA - Austria is under fire for organising an EU leaders’ summit to begin on the Jewish Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, which has sparked alarm in the Jewish community. The group said the scheduling conflict shows an unsurprising lack of attention to their religious calendar and raised concerns amid the resurgence of anti-Semitism across the continent. Austria holds the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU and has long struggled with allegations of state-sponsored intolerance. Jewish Hungarian member of the European Parliament Péter Niedermüller said he thinks the date was chosen intentionally as a way for Europe’s right-wing officials to send a subtle message. He said: “I can imagine very well there are some political intentions.”
