Criticism
Since June 2021, Max Pucher appeared in an Austrian, political far right alternative media format, auf1 tv. While himself expressing views as climate change denial, denial of the death toll of the COVID-19 pandemic and general unscientific and pseudo-scientific views on modern science, the online tv station itself also propagates other extremist views as hate speech against minorities, sexism or conspiracy theories. Auf1 tv is managed by Stefan Magnet, previously active in the Neo-Nazism group Bund freier Jugend and who was taken into investigative custody and prosecuted by Austrian authorities based on the Prohibition Act 1947. Max Pucher expressed an active cooperation and involvement with Stefan Magnet in his initial appearance on auf1 tv.
Since early 2022, Max Pucher acts as the president of the political union Union Souveränität with strong ideological ties to the Querdenker movement. In this role, Max Pucher, expresses conspiracy theories and other right winged views as climate change denial and anti-migration policies.
