FPÖ criticizes the federal government: Where is the plan for Austrian farmers?

In a new era of political disputes, Alexander Petschnig, FPÖ state party chairman and the National Council, is skeptical about the current willingness to compromise the new federal government. He misses concrete plans for an economic stimulation and indicates that the compromise "is actually only a guarantee that nothing changes". His concerns aim in particular on the lack of reform measures and the inadequate initiatives to reduce energy prices, which are of great importance for many citizens, as reported.

Another criticism comes from FPÖ Federal Councilor Thomas Karacony, who sharply criticizes the situation in agriculture. "There is nothing inside in the new government program that should bring anything to farmers in Austria," he explains. The demand for an improved food labeling was ignored and the bureaucracy is not broken down. This leads to increased monitoring of farmers, which is very stressful for the industry. In the security area, Michael Gmeindl, who was praised as a member of the National Council on February 6, 2025, expresses concerns about the European air defense project Skyshield. Gmeindl emphasizes that participation in this project is not compatible with the Austrian neutrality and demands the exit from it. The politician, who was also nominated for the upcoming elections as the top candidate of the FPÖ, sees the risk that Skyshield creates a back door for indirect NATO integration, which he decidedly rejects, as from wikipedia executed.

criticism of the government program

The "Now more than ever" tour 2025 is expected for the first time in Burgenland on Friday evening, in Tobaj in the Güssing district. This political appearance could be a reaction to the persistent concerns and demands of the FPÖ, which always insist that something has to change in political reality in order to meet the challenges of time. The dissatisfaction with the current government program is reflected in the statements of the FPÖ politicians and could significantly influence the political landscape in the future.
