AfD disappointment: Austria's coalition leaves German rights cold!

The right -wing populist alternative for Germany (AfD) is disappointed with the outcome of the coalition negotiations in Austria, which ultimately proved to be unsuccessful. While the AfD hoped for a success of the FPÖ in the Federal Chancellery, it must now take note that the political constellations do not meet their wishes. "As in Germany, a blue (co-) government should apparently also be prevented under all circumstances," said Peter Boehringer, Vice-President of the AfD, and emphasized that you are working on absolute blue majorities to overcome these political blockages, such as krone.at reported .

Boehringer sees the reasons for failure primarily on foreign policy issues and the problem around the EU. In his opinion, the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) pursues supranationalist interests that are not in line with national needs. The Bundestag in Germany is about the new election on February 23, 2025, and surveys show that the AfD is expected to rise to the second strongest force behind the conservative parties, as well as various surveys. Current data, queried on behalf of RTL Germany, illustrate that 50 % of the citizens do not know who to choose, while Olaf Scholz and Friedrich Merz are 25 %, as Wahlen.info reported.

The AfD is determined to continue to pursue your agenda. Boehringer criticized that an "absurd fire wall" was built against her party, which she sees as an obstacle to possible right-wing conservative coalitions. In the midst of these political uncertainties, the challenge of the parties will continue to grow, in the face of voters' discretion and the growing influence of the Afd.
