FPÖ applies for new elections: chaos surrounding asylum policy and terrorist attacks!

Things are boiling in the House: The FPÖ, under the leadership of Herbert Kickl, urgently reported back yesterday. In view of the current asylum crisis and after the shocking terrorist attacks that shook both Germany and Austria, the party not only called for new elections, but also made an urgent question about the serious failures of the authorities in the case of the knife attack in Villach. How krone.at reported, the tenor was: “If you want to slow down Kickl, you have to deliver,” while internal discussions in the coalition negotiations between ÖVP, SPÖ and Neos point to a restrictive asylum policy.

The agreed points include, among other things, the tightening of the recognition of asylum status and the establishment of return centers for people to be deported. In addition, a temporary stop to family reunification was decided, which the FPÖ declares as a reaction to the “democratic crisis” and the failures of the “unity parties”. Kickl also criticized the ÖVP for failed negotiations and questioned their legitimacy. Loud the press Citizens should blame the ruling parties for the deaths in the recent terrorist attacks, which were referred to as “firewall deaths.” Kickl rhetorically and emphatically called for, among other things, a stop to access to citizenship for asylum seekers and spoke out against monitoring of messenger services.

On a collision course

The rise in tensions between the parties seems to show no signs of stopping. The FPÖ is planning far-reaching motions for the upcoming plenary session that include a ban on political Islam and massive restrictions for asylum seekers. ÖVP General Secretary Alexander Pröll exposed Kickl and questioned his credibility by accusing him of shirking his responsibility. “A politician who talks a lot but doesn’t act much is untrustworthy,” said Pröll. However, the FPÖ remains on course to position itself as the voice of the opposition and its moves reveal dissatisfaction with the current political leadership.
