New elections in sight: FPÖ demands the end of the traffic light government!
The FPÖ is confident in a current statement and speaks of an upswing in the political landscape. After a appearance of SPÖ Minister of Women Raika Holzleitner in the ORF "press hour", FPÖ general secretary Michael Schmeditz sharply criticized the federal government. He described the "loser ambulance" as the most expensive and worst government of all time that only stays together because it was afraid of new elections. "The illegal mass immigration continues to be promoted," warned Schledlitz and emphasized that the SPÖ is working against the interests of the population with its demands for new taxes. His sharp appeal: "What Germany led to the edge of the abyss cannot work for us either," he said. These statements underline the urge of the FPÖ to position themselves as an alternative force while it refers to their roots and traditional values.
The successes of the FPÖ also seem to show themselves in surveys. The deputy governor Manfred Haimbuchner reported that according to a Spectra survey, the FPÖ is in first place in Upper Austria. "People have enough of left-wing utopias," said Haimbuchner in Linza-Talk and linked this ascent to the urge for reason and normality in politics. He sees the need to learn from the "disastrous politics" of recent years and to consolidate the state budget. At the same time, Haimbuchner emphasizes that the FPÖ acts as a political constant in Austria and that despite the challenges of working with the ÖVP, a positive direction is taken. "We have proven that you can rely on us," said Haimbuchner. It increases the image of an upward for the FPÖ and alienation to the traditional, socialist political currents.
political landscape in upheaval
The FPÖ sees itself, both at a national and regional level, in a tense but hopeful location. When Haimbuchner determines that the wind is rotating and the time has come to return to reason, he goes to confrontation with the SPÖ and the Greens, whom he accuses of losing himself in unrealistic political goals. "The past few years have shown that people are no longer willing to accept the extreme ideologies that split our society," says Haimbuchner, referring to the need to communicate political measures well to ensure acceptance among the population. The urgent need for a stable, performance -oriented policy that remains even in times of crisis becomes clear in this context, and the FPÖ is doing everything possible to position itself as this force.
