ÖVP threatens with the FPÖ coalition: Can we save Austria?

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - The political Situation in Austria is increasingly tense because the FPÖ under Herbert Kickl has the opportunity to take over the government. The Greens urgently warn of the far -reaching consequences of such a coalition. According to ots.at , the ÖVP of the FPÖ could leave decisive ministries such as constitution, police and media, which would threaten a dangerous radical right-wing influence. Olga Voglauer, General Secretary of the Greens, emphasizes that the ÖVP thus never questions its own announcements, never coalizing with Kickl, and endangers the basis of Austrian democracy.

The concerns of the population

The uncertainty among the population grows, and the Greens have launched a hands-on campaign to mobilize the citizens. This campaign calls for ÖVP citizens and representatives to face a coalition with the right -wing extremist FPÖ. "It is not too late to turn around," said Voglauer. The strengthening of the FPÖ in the government could also have international effects, since Kickl sees Hungarian politics under Viktor Orban as a model, as Tageschau.de

The discussion about a possible “orbanization” of Austria is in full swing. While the FPÖ under Kickl is aiming for an aggressive citizen politics, the question arises whether Austria could get on a similar way to Hungary. Critics warn that the FPÖ, although it does not have a two -thirds majority in parliament, could still restrict the rights and freedoms in the cultural sector. Especially in the art and cultural scene, concern for a possible state discrimination against non-approved cultural forms of expression is growing, as is the case in Hungary. Kickl has already shown a negative attitude towards the current cultural policy of the government in the past.
