Before the beginning of Tuesday, party and club leader Herbert Kickl warned of “climate communism”, the loss of basic and freedoms and the “deep state”. The long-awaited compliance rules would only be on the agenda after the election in Upper Austria. The range of topics at the retreat will range from climate protection – where Kickl fears a large wave of pollution – to the “threat to basic and freedoms rights from an excessively exaggerated corona policy” to the question of “the deep state, which just returned a few days ago hit a former member of ours with merciless severity, “said Kickl, alluding to the house search of the former FPÖ mandate Hans-Jörg Jenewein.
The reaction to the Ibiza and the expenses affair under the leadership of the Upper Austrian FPÖ boss LHStv. Manfred Haimbuchner develop compliance rules are not yet on the program. The exam is about content for the autumn, after the elections in Upper Austria one will also deal with internal matters. “It’s on the agenda, but it’s not the first priority now,” said Kickl. The set of rules should actually have been presented at the turn of the year.
The fact that the MFG list, skeptical of vaccinations and measures, is competing in the state elections in Upper Austria and, according to the latest polls, has a chance of entering the state parliament, is clearly not seen by Kickl as competition to the FPÖ: it is of no use to give one’s vote to a splinter group, “that fizzles out politically”. The FPÖ is the party that “credibly opposed the crazy measures of the federal government from the start”.
