FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl has taken a completely new tone when it comes to Alexander Van der Bellen: the Freedom Party sees some similarities with the Federal President and wants to build on this in the upcoming conversation with the head of state on Friday.
Democracy and human rights, but also fundamental and freedom rights, are just as important to him as Van der Bellen, the cheerful FPÖ chairman said on Wednesday afternoon before the start of his party’s committee meetings. This time Kickl refrained from harsh insults (“senile mummy”).
The blue top staff present did not yet want to take a position on possible participation in the government of the FPÖ, which had emerged as the strongest force in the National Council elections.
It was a holiday, they said in unison. Erwin Angerer, regional chief of Carinthia, exuded confidence, assuming that a good solution would be found after a few weeks.
Kickl looking for an exploratory team
Naturally, Kickl had few kind words for the potential partners. After the elections, the two former state parties gave the impression that the voter was wrong: “But the voter is right,” the FPÖ leader emphasized, as in the previous elections. The FPÖ stands for change and was therefore chosen.
For the explorations with the other parties, Kickl wants to put together a team on Wednesday that will cover the various fields. Relevant decisions in the presidency and the board of directors must be communicated in writing.
The FPÖ leader will only make his next statement after the conversation with Van der Bellen. This is also a matter of respect for the Federal President, he said in his statement to the parliamentary club FPÖ.
