Herbert Kickl’s little blue miracle: the leader of the PVV was re-elected at the federal party conference in St. Pölten with 91 percent of the more than 600 deputies. The “Krone” was there for you.
Staged as the arrival of a rock star, Herbert Kickl took the stage at the event center in St. Pölten shortly after 10 a.m. On Saturday, the Liberal Federal Party leader presented himself there for re-election at the 34th Ordinary Federal Party Conference. 88.24 percent was the starting position of Kickl’s June 2021 acquisition. He didn’t want to target himself in the lead up to his day. The question of support within your own party is too uncertain and the recent blue turbulence surrounding the Jenewein case was probably too big for that.
FPÖ focus on federal states
Even before the more than 600 Liberal deputies voted, Kickl spoke words to the representatives of the state parties. First and foremost to the host Udo Landbauer, who will be the top candidate of the FPÖ next year in the state elections in Lower Austria. “I think Mikl-Leitner is already exhausted. The Lower Austrians will eat of the tree of knowledge and then the false serpent will be expelled from paradise. We don’t need to bring a bucket of dirt, because they’re all in the basement of the ÖVP anyway. Udo, you’re getting a great result – I’ll keep my fingers crossed!” In Carinthia, he wants to “give the Reds a thumbs up”.
The FPÖ leader described “Red Vienna” as the “last abyss”. The Austrians would have to flee from the refugees in the capital. Syrian refugees would do street races and kill the Austrians, Kickl recalled of the fatal car accident in Vienna.
Asylum issues and “voter hit”
It needs resistance to the constant migration, Kickl said. “As liberals, we wouldn’t accept any asylum applications anymore. That’s it, that’s it, it doesn’t work anymore.” He was tired of watching “the Austrian people being victimized”. The federal government is to blame for all of this. The “Eleonore Nehammer Cabinet” must go. If that cannot be carried out with the “voter clap”, it will be up to federal presidential candidate Walter Rosenkranz to fire the government.
criticism and booing
Even before the more than 600 FPÖ deputies cast their votes, the PVV was asked for donations. Virtually all speakers expressed their confidence in Kickl – only one critical voice was raised. Karl Wurzer criticized Kickl for his dealings with ex-party leader Norbert Hofer and his “recommendation” for the horse wormer during the Corona crisis. Kickl took the criticism with humor and responded, “We can both get smarter, Karl!”
Voters went to the polls at 2:40 p.m. and the results were announced shortly after 3:00 p.m. Herbert Kickl was re-elected with exactly 91 percent.
