Years of fate for Austria: Kickl in front of Chancellery - what now?
Years of fate for Austria: Kickl in front of Chancellery - what now?
The political climate is tense in Austria after the formation of government by Herbert Kickl is promoted by the Freedom Party (FPÖ). This follows the failed attempt by the ÖVP, SPÖ and NEOS to form a coalition. Kickl, who was commissioned to form the government on January 6, 2025, could become the first Chancellor to not come from the classic people's parties. This development is perceived as a historical turning point, since this is a break with the Austrian tradition that the Chancellor is chosen by SPÖ or ÖVP. The Federal Republic is in a phase that is characterized by uncertainty and potential changes, as ZDFcoalition talks and savings packages
Kickl and his party colleague Christian Stocker have publicly informed a planned savings package of 6.3 billion euros for 2025. In fact, even deeper cuts will be necessary to meet the requirements of industry and business. These incisions are not only unpopular, but can also be regarded as a strategic consideration for the financial realities. The wind of the change blows for the FPÖ, and Kickl moves more skillfully than ever by . His role has led to a surprising progress in the negotiations in just three days and put the ÖVP on a leash as a junior partner.
This dynamic not only affects internal politics, but also on the Austrian relationship with the EU. Since many of Kickl's reforms in question are linked to a simplified understanding of democracy, the political landscape is faced with unprecedented challenges. The resistance in civil society is already growing, with tens of thousands of protesters, which are against a possible FPÖ-led government. According to the organizers, 50,000 people took part in these demonstrations. Kickl will be under pressure in the coming months to meet the expectations of his voters as well as to navigate the potential reactions to the public on his policy.
