National Council election Live: Black -Red with a challenge - Kickl's influence

A major development in the Austrian political landscape concerns the upcoming National Council elections. The discussion about potential mandate has gained intensity in the past few days. In particular, the possibility of a black and red coalition is increasingly considered unlikely.

FPÖ boss Herbert Kickl, a prominent figure on this topic, was born on October 19, 1968 in Villach and grew up in a family of workers. His political career brought him to the head of the Austria's Freedom Party (FPÖ), where he now acts firmly in the debate about possible coalitions.

coalition talks in the focus

The current constellation of the parties makes cooperation between black and red almost impossible. Voices from the FPÖ and other political camps underline this assessment. The shifts of the mandates and their distribution in the National Council have called many political analysts.

The possibility that an agreement between the ÖVP and the SPÖ could come about is viewed critically. In particular, the lack of agreement in basic political questions stands in the way of cooperation. These developments could have far -reaching consequences for political stability in Austria.
