Kickl s election campaign with words: FPÖ relies on provocation in Graz

Von WOM

In a sensational campaign kick-off, FPÖ boss Herbert Kickl spoke out against the opposition on Thursday evening in Graz. The event took place in the soap factory, an event center on the bank of the Mur, and was accompanied by the John-Otti band, which created the mood. Kickl, who is considered self -confident, critically commented on other parties, in particular the ÖVP with her top candidate Karl Nehammer and Federal President Alexander van der Bellen.

"There is only one party that is responsible for optimism, that is the FPÖ," emphasized Kickl and made it clear that he perceives the previous elections as not representative. He addressed the ÖVP directly and stated: "For us, VK is called Chancellor for us, for the left demonstrators outside, it is called full case." In doing so, he went into the dwindling number of voters of the ÖVP and spoke of a "crashing defeat" that, according to him, could be imminent in the upcoming elections.

attacks on Nehammer and the ÖVP

  • Kickl compared Nehammer to a boxing chancellor who was "difficult to go" in the title fight and walk around with "two blue eyes".
  • He accused the ÖVP not to take the voters seriously and addressed the government's responsibility in the Corona crisis: "At Corona we will still be responsible."
  • Kickl predicted that the ÖVP will experience a big setback on the election Sunday and spoke of a "coffin nail" from which the party must free itself.
  • Another prominent topic of the speech was the confrontation with the EU, which Kickl felt unjust and saw an obstacle to a freedom government.

In sharp words, Kickl also questioned the intellectual capacity of his opponent by explaining: "Nehammer has mentally unarmed to the conversations." This indicates that he considers the strategic decisions of the ÖVP to be rash. Such statements often occur in an election campaign, but seem particularly bluntly and provocative in this context.

Kickl, known for his direct speech, also accused boulevard journalists to chase "stupid stories" and threatened to criticize his campaign team with sharp criticism. "I would have served them brain with egg, maybe it would have used something," he added sarcastic.

This election campaign event ends in a particularly heated climate, characterized by sharp words and sharp rhetoric, which could make the upcoming elections an exciting race. Details and more can be found in a report by www.oe24.at can be read.
