The extreme right could win the Austrian parliamentary elections / Article

Migration dominated this Austrian parliamentary election campaign. Austria is one of the countries that, together with Germany and Sweden, has received one of the largest numbers of migrants in the last ten years. About 150,000 Syrians and Afghans, as well as about 80,000 Ukrainians, have arrived there.

The leader of Austria’s far-right Freedom Party, Herbert Kikl, promises voters not only to reject the right to seek asylum, but also openly talks about ‘ expel residents from the country if they could not unite and their roots. not from Europe.

“We will take power from those who do not wish you well and put it back in your hands. And then we will build a good future for you and all those who come after us,” said Kickles.

Kikl calls himself the next “people’s chancellor”. The German dictator Adolf Hitler was also named this way in the 1930s. The leader of the Freedom Party also does not like the European Union’s sanctions against Russia and other decisions of the current government.

According to the French newspaper “Le Monde”, the Freedom Party is also very popular because the number of voters in this country decreases with each election.

The current Chancellor of Austria, Karl Nehamer, who represents the People’s Party in the center, rejects a possible collaboration with Kikla in the next government.

On Sunday, coming out of the polling station, Nehamer urged residents to vote actively.

“Today is the day where the future path is decided. The promises are very cold. I want to tell everyone who is still listening to us that a every vote counts. In fact, every vote counts. Then it will be clear who gets your trust and what it will look like in the next five years,” said Nehamer.

But several political scientists have admitted to the international media that the People’s Party could still conclude a coalition agreement with the Freedom Party, coming up with a creative solution on what to do. by Herbert Kikla.

The two parties have also worked in the same government before and continue to cooperate in three regions of Austria.
