After Agreement on Three-Party Coalition: FPÖ Leader Kickl Wonders What Is Possible

On X (formerly Twitter), FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl complained that one could not speak of a "government program" before a government even existed. After all, it was still uncertain whether the NEOS members' assembly would even agree. "And with the SPÖ, the scramble for positions is still in full swing."

FPÖ Leader Kickl Sees NEOS Blackmail Attempt

"One could also speak of an open blackmail attempt regarding approval by the NEOS base assembly, which will only take place on Sunday," says Kickl, referring to the pending party committee decisions. The NEOS members' assembly on Sunday, which is ultimately decisive, is eagerly awaited, as a two-thirds approval is needed there for the acceptance of the coalition pact. Both the designated ÖVP leader Christian Stocker and NEOS leader Beate Meinl-Reisinger, however, expressed confidence during the presentation on Thursday that the agreement would be accepted at the members' assembly on Sunday.

Kickl naturally had nothing good to say about the government program itself. It was "a complete capitulation to the voters' mandate for real renewal," emphasized Kickl in a statement. It was not "the necessary red-white-red liberation strike for Austria," but rather meant "irresponsible business as usual" and was a "downright Austria-traitor program, conceived out of a lust for power on one side and fear of the voters on the other." The "most expensive government of all time" was producing the greatest burdens of all time, according to Kickl.
