Kickl under fire: Austria's most expensive government in the crisis!

In Austria, the political mood has been bubbling since FPÖ boss Herbert Kickl has declared the new government as a "monster" and "giant baby". Last Friday, Kickl accused the coalition party leader to represent an "XXXLARGE government bank"-the most expensive government ever, as he claimed. At a time when record controls and company bankruptcy make the country, he criticized that the government had learned nothing of the mistakes of the past, such as the asylum crisis in 2015 or the negative consequences of Corona policy. "Now the standstill is coming," Kickl clarified, and the Austrians deserved something better than this type of leadership, which in his opinion falls further into the misery, such as oe24.at reported .

But the fears of a possible FPÖ ÖVP coalition exceed mere word battles. Many citizens fear that Kickl wants to hollow out democracy and prevent critical voices from being heard. The term "orbanization" fell in the conversations when reader expressed her concern about a possible authoritarian turn in Austria. The FPÖ would have the opportunity to dominate the public discourse and to pursue anti -European, conservative politics. In particular, control over the media and judiciary could be endangered in such a form of government, as Zeit.de reported . This increases concern about the future of minorities increased in the future and a threat to humanitarian achievements in society.

People are split: While some hope for a moderation of Kickl in the government, others are alerted about the possible changes in migration and economic policy. The concerns of an FPÖ-led government are great, as the previous sovereign policies are at risk of becoming an uncertain future. The pressure on the population and civil society will grow to actively defend the achievements and democratic values of the country.
