Kickl demands departure: FPÖ on the way to the Chancellery!

new challenges for the FPÖ

The historical victory of the FPÖ, which follows this party conference, has changed the political landscape in Austria. With a clear lead of more than two percentage points on the ÖVP, the FPÖ sees itself as the strongest force in parliament.
