AUSTRIA stands at a pivotal juncture as the far-right makes a historic leap. For the first time since World War 2, the radical-right Freedom Party of Austria has claimed victory in the national parliamentary elections, reflecting deeper shifts within its political landscape. Under Herbert Kickl's leadership, the FPO has surpassed the legacy of Jörg Haider, a populist trailblazer in Western Europe who famously forged a coalition with the conservative Austrian People's Party in 2000.
Kickl's journey began as a speechwriter for Jörg Haider, crafting the populist messages that catapulted the party into relevance. By 2020, after a brief and scandal-marred stint in government alongside the Austrian People's Party, Kickl became the FPO's undisputed leader.
