Political Ash Wednesday: Kickl's appearance ensures tensions in Ried

Ried, Österreich - The political Ash Wednesday of the FPÖ in the Jahnturnhalle in Ried is imminent and attracts attention. Herbert Kickl, the Federal Party leader of the FPÖ, will take the stage for the third time to swear around 2,000 supporters to his political line during the traditional herring feast. After failed coalition talks with the ÖVP, guests can expect a “hearty political sweeping”, while the mood is charged and the pressure on the FPÖ grows, such as the vienna.at reported.

At the same time, an event by the Styrian SPÖ leader Max Lercher will also take place in Kobenz. No protest is expected there, but his speech and the political leaders he distributed are particularly highlighted, but less sharp than that of Kickl. Lercher invites over 500 guests to the Zechner leisure facility, while Kickl's event is accompanied by a demonstration of the “Grandmas against Right”, who want to express their protest against the FPÖ loudly. From 7:15 p.m., music performances by Sardar Kobani and the "Blonden Engel" in the Rieder Chamber of Labor sound, where at 3:30 p.m. Hans-Henning Scharsach about "Democracy in danger?" will speak, according to Kleine Zeitung .

This political event is not only a place of political mobilization, but also a signal fight between the opposition parties, which reflects the current mood in the country. While the FPÖ under Kickl advertises support from its supporters, the SPÖ under Lercher tries to claim its own relevance. An exciting political evening is guaranteed!
