FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl was able to close ranks behind him for the time being so as not to endanger the elections for Hofburg and Tyrol. But Kickl is ill and must bring success.
“It’s a temporary rest,” FPÖ veteran Andreas Mölzer describes the state of the blue. After the days of chaos, the ranks behind FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl closed again. The FPÖ-Vienna on Tuesday expressed its loyalty to Kickl and ruled out any connection between the creation of the advertisements in the electronic files of ex-mandator Hans-Jörg Jenewein and Kickl. Even Upper Austria’s FPÖ boss Manfred Haimbuchner claimed: “We are not suited as putschists nor as party rebels.”
Deadline extension only for FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl
So everything palletti again for Kickl? Appearances are deceiving. Within the party, the FPÖ leader is mistreated after Jenewein’s suicide attempt. Because the motives for the desperate act are not clear. It is also perfectly clear why Jenewein wanted to report numerous FPÖ Vienna officials. “By attacking the media, Kickl pushed the discussion to the sidelines. The upcoming election campaign for the Hofburg and in Tyrol has also united the party more quickly,” says political scientist Kathrin Stainer-Hämmerle.
In fact, it’s just an extension of the deadline for Kickl. Three touchstones point the way for Kickl’s future as party leader: What percentage will he receive at the federal party conference in mid-September? Anything below 90 percent would be a serious loss of confidence for Kickl.
What’s going on in Jenewein’s cell phone?
Question number 2: What explosive facts can still be found on the mobile phone of ex-MP Jenewein? And last but not least, the results of the Hofburg and Tyrol elections will play an important role. Jörg Haider has also had many crises. However, his charisma was stronger within the party than Kickl’s. “It was amazing what changes Haider naturally made. Still, the officials stood behind him. Kickl lacks this playfulness,” says Stainer-Hämmerle.
For the political scientist, the FPÖ boss showed last week that he was not a good crisis manager. “In a game where loyalty is a high ideal, he threw his nerves too quickly and dropped Jenewein.”
