In a bold New Year’s address to 2,500 attendees in Premstätten, FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl declared a “political shift with a libertarian chancellor.” Amidst promises for 2024, Kickl unleashed not only political announcements but also some hard-hitting jabs. Let’s dive into who felt the brunt of Kickl’s wrath.
2024 Elections are already heating. Who are you rooting for.
Keep your eyes open.
Political Competitors:
Kickl vows that the upcoming elections will witness a “positive force, like a lightning bolt striking the system of arrogance, self-love, and power obsession.” He proposes names like ‘List of Treason’ or ‘Anti-Austrian Unity Front’ for those attempting to restrain their “libertarian energy.”
Political Analysts and Media:
Dismissing past predictions of the FPÖ’s demise, Kickl asserts, “We stand strong and motivated, ready to make the decisive move against this ‘power cartel,’ including the so-called ‘system media.'”
Business Titans and Other Party Leaders:
Drawing parallels between corporate dealings and political maneuvers, Kickl criticizes figures like Benko, Gusenbauer, Haselsteiner, Nehammer, Babler, and Meinl-Reisinger, terming it a “ghostly parallel shift.”
Against All Odds:
Describing the FPÖ as the “Blue Hercules against a Hydra with black, red, green, and pink heads,” Kickl highlights a tendency to label dissent as “negative, evil, and dangerous,” particularly by elites using ‘right’ as a code for ‘extreme right.’
Austria Federation elections are coming up faster than expected in 2024, it’s time to reflect on our past and present leaderships, Parties and groups that have been representing us for years. And see what needs to change and who needs to be kicked out. Austria needs those that will represent their interests not the interest of a selected few.

President Alexander Van der Bellen:
Asserting that the president should respect the constitution, Kickl emphasizes the equality principle, stating, “Democrats cannot devalue FPÖ votes compared to other parties.”
Regional Leaders:
Stressing the desire for robust leadership, Kickl envisions a “Landesvater” akin to Jörg Haider, emphasizing the need to replace the “burned-out black-green political hybrid” in Vorarlberg.
Taking on the “Left”:
Accusing the left of tethering people with various subsidies, Kickl opposes their agenda to replace heating systems and pledges to fortify Austria against external influences from EU, NATO, WHO, WEF, or the World Climate Council.
Immigration Standpoint:
Rejecting the notion of “Remigration,” Kickl calls for addressing the real issue – migration. He outlines plans for a ‘Fortress Austria,’ transitioning from cash to in-kind aid, and adamantly declares, “No more asylum applications will be accepted, and we won’t allow a direct path from asylum status to citizenship.”
Get ready for a year of political sparks as Herbert Kickl charts a bold course for the FPÖ in 2024.
“Let’s cross check what needs to be changed and who needs to be kicked out. Austria as a nation needs those that will represent their interests not the interest of a selected few”.
