FPÖ Party Congress Takes Place on September 27 in Salzburg

After the cancellation of the party conference in Kitzbühel, Tyrol, due to the rampage in a Graz school, the FPÖ is now meeting in Salzburg. The planned re-election of Herbert Kickl as federal party leader is now set to take place on September 27, the party announced via a press release on Friday.

The party conference was originally supposed to take place on June 14. However, the event was canceled at short notice due to the rampage. The delegates are now meeting at the exhibition center in Salzburg. Kickl's party leadership is officially undisputed. Rumors that he would withdraw to Carinthia and take over the local state party were dismissed by FPÖ General Secretary Christian Hafenecker on Thursday.

Innsbruck Not Venue for FPÖ Party Conference

The party conference was originally supposed to take place in Innsbruck in the fall. "Unfortunately, it was not possible to find a hall in Tyrol that is large enough to hold this event on the new date," Kickl reported in a press release and thanked the Tyrolean party colleagues for their understanding.
