With Messerschleifer – Kickl goes on tour through Austria: “With you against the system”

In addition to the party leader, tailors and knife sharpeners will also be called in, Secretary General Michael Schnedlitz said at a press conference on Tuesday.

“From the people – for the people”
Kickl himself stayed away from the media event, and his Secretary General tried even harder to drum up the FPÖ’s message: in view of the EU and National Council elections, we are in a ‘fateful years’ and it is about the ‘interests of the people’ rather than the ‘system’, and you are alone against a ‘united party’ of the other established forces.

‘Of the people – for the people’ could be read about the subject behind Schnedlitz, below which was ‘People’s Chancellor’ – Kickl’s portrait fit between ‘People’ and ‘Chancellor’.

Schnedlitz denounced rising fuel prices, “warmongering” and a planned new “taxpayer gift” for Ukraine, which would leave “their own leaders” with nothing. The FPÖ, on the other hand, wants to “give big things, launch a liberation strike for the people, to lift people out of their misery.”

He identified an “unprecedented forward movement”, the Freedom Party was “at eye level and in solidarity with the people”, and Kickl wanted “to be nothing other than the voice and mouthpiece of the people”. The “system” is therefore panicking and trying to attack the FPÖ.

Nepp attacks Viennese competitors
Because the tour starts in Vienna, state party leader Dominik Nepp also spoke. He leveled insults about political competition at city hall and announced that social benefits would only be available to Austrians “when I am mayor in 2025.” Nepp wants to force violent youth into ‘boot camps’ and Vienna should become the ‘deportation capital’.
