Now it is certain: ÖVP, SPÖ and NEOS will officially start the coalition negotiations on Thursday. This naturally provokes fierce criticism from the FPÖ, the party with the strongest mandate in the National Council. “Greed for power far outweighs a sense of responsibility. Styria will give the first answer to this on Sunday,” says blue frontman Herbert Kickl on Facebook.
“If the same people who got us into this whole mess and drove the country hand in hand against the wall pose as the great saviors of misery… I fear the downward spiral will continue,” Kickl continued to criticize.
His party emerged as the strongest party in the National Council elections on September 29, but no other party wants to govern with the Freedom Party. The state elections in Styria are this Sunday. All surveys show that the FPÖ is clearly in first place.
“Karl Nehammer job security package”
Given that the ÖVP, SPÖ and NEOS announced on Monday that they would now officially enter into coalition negotiations at the federal level, FPÖ Secretary General Michael Schnedlitz spoke of a “black day for democracy in Austria”. The losers’ “Austrian traffic light” is exactly what people did not vote for, but instead a “Karl Nehammer job security package,” Schnedlitz said.
Nehammer is nowhere near the stature a Chancellor needs, “because anyone who wants to blame Herbert Kickl for the development of gas prices in his time of need shows that he is incapable of leading a country like Austria” , he said. Schnedlitz said.
“The big loser is our beautiful country”
According to him, the Austrians opted for a change of course in Austria on September 29. “They want the FPÖ to take responsibility in our country together with Herbert Kickl. The system parties want to prevent this at all costs and do everything they can to stay in power. They don’t care about the will of the voters. The big loser is our beautiful country and its people,” Schnedlitz said.
