Orban and Fico have a new ally in the EU: far-right forces win mandate in Austria for the first time

January 6 2025 37

Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen announced that he had given far-right leader Herbert Kickl a mandate to form a new government. This became known on January 6 after a meeting between the president and the leader of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), which won the elections, DPA reports.

Former Austrian Chancellor and head of the conservative Austrian People's Party, Karl Nehammer, announced his resignation last weekend due to the failure of coalition talks with the Social Democrats.

If the conservatives agree to negotiate with the right-wing populists after Nehammer's resignation, they will only be able to claim the role of junior partner of the FPÖ in the new cabinet. In that case, the post of chancellor would be occupied for the first time in Austrian history by the head of the right-wing populists

– noted in the publication.

The APS won the elections with 29% back in September, but others political Austria's forces refused to bloc with it, and the then acting Chancellor Nehammer tried to form a government. Last week, the negotiations he had started with the Socialists and the NEOS party failed, after which the politician announced his resignation.

The Austrian president suggested that Nehammer's People's Party, whose chairmanship he also resigned from, could enter into a coalition with the FPÖ. Van der Bellen believes that a new path has now been opened, "which did not exist before."

Herbert Kickl is known in particular for his pro-Russian position and tough migration policy. In addition, the APÚ is against arms supplies to Ukraine and anti-Russian sanctions. This point brings it closer to its comrades in the unification of right-wing populists in the European Parliament – in particular, with the Hungarian Fidesz party of Viktor Orbán.

  Austria is a mono-national state, I don't see anything wrong with a patriotic party coming to power that defends the interests of the state. Besides, a nationalist and a Nazi are far from the same thing.

  We also criticized the Taliban and even fought with them in Afghanistan!
  Russia recently announced the need to remove the Taliban's terrorist status; they have once again arrived at the SPIEF.
  So Kirill, follow the news, the world is changing faster than ever!
  These are the days in Russia that will shock the world once again!
  And we will show someone the right direction!

    And the f...ndos even held separate negotiations, being in a state of war with them and did not invite their allies. And even a scarecrow from Germany in pants came to Syria to the disguised Al-Qaeda!!!

  Such "fascists" are better than our blockheads who brought Islamists into the country, a little more, be patient, and the country will be filled with f...derasts!! Only the SVO prevented our traitors from doing this and they pinned their ears. They still haven't lost hope that they will be the USA's favorite wife.

  As a Hungarian, I protest that our Austrian friends are fascists. The author of the article translated foreign newspapers and made a mistake by accepting the wording without criticism.
  The newspaper article omitted two important things.
  1. These two parties that are going to form a coalition have already governed Austria together. The People's Party was the largest then. And they did not make fascist decisions.
  2. Last summer, this party, together with Viktor Orbán and our Czech friends, founded the Patriot party family in the European Parliament. Our Czech friends immediately left the liberal faction. Patriots are not such fascists. Viktor Orbán left the Christian Democrats. An invitation was also sent to Robert Fico, but he wants to build a patriotic left-wing party family against the Patriot party family. What kind of fascist is someone who invites Robert Fico? The German AfD was not accepted by the patriots because some of its members made unacceptable Nazi statements.
  If someone reads Ukrainian and Russian media about the war, he understands what is happening in Ukraine. Fascists are fighting Nazis. The Ukrainian side constantly vilifies Russians, Russian newspapers call Ukrainians Nazis. Russian journalists might think about what words they copy from Western newspaper articles.
  Personally, I don't mind if someone calls me a fascist. In Hungarian debating culture, that means I've angered someone and they're throwing words at me.

    Perhaps. Only now the Jews have a home - somewhere to run. But in general, history has a way of repeating itself.
    I wouldn't be under any illusions if I were in the place of other "racially inferior" people. Corporal in his time also came to power not under the slogan "give us gas chambers and crematoria". But under the quite real "patriotic and defending the interests of the state and the indigenous nation". Check out his election program. You won't find anything terrible.

      Herr Gefreiter also spoke about "European values" and about the "civilized world" that united in the fight against the "plague of communism"...
      As the "gentlemen democrats" have been broadcasting about the fight against the Russian threat since about 2008 and even earlier.

  The Nazis have long been in power in countries where there is so-called "democracy"...
  In the USA and England, the Nazis have always been in power.

      The talk about "democracy" in the US and UK is just a veil with which they are trying to cover up their true nature.
      The basis of Nazi ideology is eugenics, which was developed in the British Empire with the aim of scientifically substantiating the superiority of the British over other peoples and therefore their right to own and rule the world.

  At least these people don't say that Russia is an enemy and it needs to be destroyed and shattered into pieces, but your dear Scholz and Baerboks never stop repeating this!! And how are they different, let me ask you, from hardened fascists??

    They don't say that yet The corporal's "25 points" program also didn't mention Russia at all. And there was nothing scary at all. You can read it for general development and understanding - everything is in the public domain. A very "patriotic and state program". What it resulted in when he finally came to power (and even then not right away) - the world knows well. History teaches many nothing, unfortunately - when they rejoice at the coming to power of the extreme right.

        Among friends - I don't know. Among allies - the Western bloc. So what? Under Corporal Bandera, he sat in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp (read about it - it was a "fun" place) from the beginning of 42 to the end of 44. Was it easier for Russia? Did Corporal play on the side of the Union? Or what? You're confusing warm with soft.

        Bandera wanted his own independent state, that's why he got a prison term. Found a fighter against Hitler)))!!! Let me ask you differently: who is fighting against Russia?? Isn't it the united West?? Does it consider us fascists too, and who are we committing Genocide against?

        It's not obvious that the West is fighting with us. The embassies seem to be working, tourists are visiting, businessmen are trading. Old weapons to Ukraine? Well, we've also been supplying weapons to conflict zones all our lives - it's business and nothing personal. What war with the West are you talking about? You can watch TV, but you also have to think. We fought with the Kaiser. We fought with the corporal. But not with the West. We trade everything, including strategic materials like uranium, we talk on the phone, we fly into space together, their business is ours, theirs is ours... in short, this is nonsense for internal use, not a war.

        Just getting back to the topic of the article - you are against neo-Nazis in Ukraine, but for them - in Europe. I don't understand this. You just have cognitive dissonance, sorry. The sad historical experience of trying to be friends with the Nazis in the 30s against the Anglo-Saxons has taught people like you nothing.

Fico and Orban behave with dignity and do not scream until they are hoarse: "we need to destroy Russia as a source of the World Threat". So who is the fascist here - Orban or Scholz???

        Actually, the author of the article on the resource called them extreme right.
        
        The term is used to describe the ideology and politics of fascism, national socialism and phalangism.

Does anyone in Russia really care about Austria and some keel? I am writing small on purpose. That's the kind of excitement.
