Austrian FPÖ leader Kickl launches autumn tour ahead of National Day
Die PresseLO·AT·about 23 hours ago
Austrian far-right FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl used the party's anniversary to frame its ideology as a 'liberal-conservative creed' against 'gender nonsense', invoking Jörg Haider as a revolutionary. He promised a 'parental allowance' and expressed fear of being deprived of electoral success, signaling a populist pivot ahead of elections. The speech blends ideological positioning with electoral anxiety, but no concrete policy shifts are announced.
