Kickl as a Will-Non-Chancellor: ÖVP counters his ash Wednesday speech!
Ried im Innkreis, Österreich - In an charged political atmosphere, FPÖ boss Herbert Kickl fought hard on Wednesday in Ried. With a speech that was full of provocations, he particularly targeted the government party ÖVP. "I am not a neutered Chancellor's puppet of the ÖVP," Kickl threatened, making it unequivocally clear that he wants to continue to compete as a "Chancellor". This came to the nerve of the ÖVP, which immediately responded with sharp words after she reacted to Kickl's appearance on Thursday. The General Secretary of the People's Party, Nico Marchetti, described Kickl as "Will-Nnicht Chancellor" and criticized the freedom for the failure to conduct serious coalition talks, such as OE24 reports .
The continued tension between the parties is also shown by the fact that top-class FPÖ representatives such as National Council President Walter Rosenkranz were missing in Kickl's speech. This raises questions about internal dynamics within the FPÖ. Kickl himself announced that it would be forwarded to the last corners of the Republic with a "Kärcher" to clean the political landscape. Surprisingly, Marchetti emphasized that Kickl failed to take responsibility at the crucial moment and make right decisions, which further undermines the credibility of the FPÖ boss, as MeinDärzirk reports .
Political Ash Wednesday is a traditional event that took place this year for the 30th time in the Jahnturnhalle in Ried and offered the framework for ongoing political tensions and a sharp exchange of blows. The event, which is deeply rooted in the FPÖ, attracts leading politicians and a large amount of supporters every year. Kickl started at a time when the government is under pressure due to the shortage of skilled workers and the political climate in Austria remains tense.
