Far-right leader pledges to 'govern Austria honestly' and makes demands of potential partner
- Austrian far-right leader Herbert Kickl said Tuesday in his first comments after being tasked to form a new government that he aspires to "govern Austria honestly" as he prepared for talks on a potential coalition with conservatives who criticized him sharply in the past.
The article discusses Herbert Kickl, the leader of Austria's far-right Freedom Party (FPO), who has pledged to govern Austria "honestly" if his party wins the upcoming parliamentary elections. Kickl, known for his controversial statements and policies, has made several demands to the conservative People's Party (OVP) for a potential coalition, including the dissolution of the OVP's current coalition with the Greens and a commitment to not work with the Greens in the future. He also seeks to influence key governmental positions, such as the interior and justice ministries, and has expressed intentions to reform Austria's media landscape, which he accuses of bias. His approach has raised concerns about the potential shift in Austria's political landscape towards more nationalist and anti-immigrant policies.
