Austria's far-right Freedom party tasked with forming coalition government

ai generated text

President Alexander Van der Bellen has tasked Herbert Kickl, the leader of the far-right Freedom Party, with forming a coalition government. The Freedom Party emerged as the largest party in the September parliamentary elections, winning 28.8% of the vote and beating the outgoing Chancellor Karl Nehammer's Austrian People's Party into second place.

    1. We are at the very beginning. If we are invited to these talks, the outcome of those talks is open.

    1. Kickl believes he can find viable solutions … and he wants this responsibility.
    2. I have … tasked him with launching talks with the People's Party to form a government.
    3. Voices within the People's Party that rule out cooperation with an FPÖ under Herbert Kickl have become much quieter. This in turn means that a new path may be opening up that did not exist before.
    4. I will continue to make sure that the principles and rules of our constitution are respected and upheld.

    1. If the centrist parties aren't capable of forming coalitions and dismiss compromises as the devil's work, it only helps the radicals.

    1. He understands he has a coalition partner to worry about. He's also not that interested in foreign policy.

    1. The FPÖ [Freedom Party] doesn't really have anything to lose. Political destabilization is what's happening, and they can only benefit from that.
    2. It's that vicious cycle. Centrist parties come to power, they fail to deliver the agenda that they present, they engage in multiple U-turns, and that leads to the rise of the far right.
    3. Another aspect that we also need to consider is that the political center is gradually shifting towards the far right.
