Speculation grows that Austrian far right leader Herbert Kickl will be asked to form a government

^{Published on 2025-01-05 16:00:38 - MSN}

Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen on Sunday announced that he would meet with far-right politician Herbert Kickl as speculation grows that he will ask the Freedom Party leader to form a government.

The article from MSN discusses the growing speculation in Austria that Herbert Kickl, the leader of the far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ), might be asked to form a government following the recent national elections. Despite the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) led by Karl Nehammer securing the most votes, they did not achieve a majority, leading to potential coalition talks. Kickl, known for his hardline stance on immigration and criticism of EU policies, has seen his party gain significant ground, becoming the second largest in parliament. This shift has raised concerns among centrist and left-wing parties about the direction Austria might take under Kickl's leadership, especially given his controversial past, including his involvement in the 2019 Ibiza scandal which led to the collapse of a previous FPÖ coalition government. The possibility of Kickl forming a government has sparked debate on the future of Austrian politics, with implications for both domestic policy and Austria's role within the European Union.
