The FPÖ’s brilliant campaign kick-off for the National Council elections on September 29th took place today in a hall at the Messe Congress Graz that was filled to the last seat with around 3,000 visitors. “It is a celebration of freedom, a celebration of patriotism and the initial spark for a change of course in this country: If you want, then we will renew Austria together!”, said FPÖ Federal Party Chairman Herbert Kickl at the beginning of his speech to the enthusiastic visitors and announced that “today the red-white-red bow” would be drawn together with which they would “hit the bullseye on September 29th”.
Across the country, more and more people are joining the Freedom Party in order to “turn the tide towards normality and common sense”. “Yes, they say they want to make a contribution with their vote for the FPÖ, for five good years – I warmly welcome them!”, said Kickl, summarizing the mood that people had shown him at countless meetings across Austria. They had long since seen through the “lies and manipulations” of the system and would not be impressed for a second by “boycott or election calls from any celebrities”: “It is embarrassing for these busybodies on duty who allow themselves to be used as loudspeakers by those in power! The Austrians do not need an instruction manual, no supervised thinking and no supervised voting!”
People would not allow themselves to be “taken for fools” by promises about the future from those who have had the power to make their lives safer, fairer and more affordable, but have not done so. “These people are now standing up and preaching stability – but they have taken the wrong direction. I therefore ask ÖVP Chancellor Nehammer in particular: What have you been doing professionally for the last five years? Hasn’t it been your ÖVP that has occupied all the key departments for 38 years? Are you now trying to take the voters for fools? But you will get the bill from the people on election day, that’s for sure!”
The other red-green-pink parts of the unity party would also suddenly start to say what the citizens want to hear shortly before the election, for example by demanding more deportations. “But in the same breath, they are pointing the finger at us Freedom Party members and calling us ‘enemies of democracy’ and ‘extremists’. That shows that they have not become any smarter, they are just afraid of losing power. Their new idea is a ‘firewall’ against us along the lines of ‘losers of the unity party, rise above the will of the voters’, and they are already working behind closed doors to achieve this. All of this at the expense of the people, because behind their talk of ‘stability’ there is only carrying on as before – and that is the last thing our country needs! This firewall against the FPÖ is in reality an anti-democratic firewall against the people,” said Kickl, who predicted that this firewall would suffer the same fate as the Berlin Wall. Because he loves our homeland so much, he will not allow the FPÖ to be prevented from taking the lead because people want to prevent normality and common sense.
In the same way, he could not accept what the unity party and above all the ÖVP had done to this country and its people. “With every decision they made, they have taken the completely wrong direction. In 2015, they stood at the train station as an alliance of welcome clappers, we Freedom Party members warned of the great security risk and were scolded for it – but we were right. It was the same with Corona and the sanctions with which they turned our country into a warring party in an economic war, and it will be the same with destructive climate communism – what is currently happening with VW in Germany is a clear sign,” said the FPÖ federal party chairman, listing this “balance of incompetence and dishonesty”, despite which the unity parties are now again begging for the voters’ trust and promising that everything will get better: “We Freedom Party members have a different message. Every agreement has two sides: The unity party gave the people their word last time and therefore got a majority. She has broken that word several times – so you must never give them your vote again, because she is too valuable for that!”
The Freedom Party wants to usher in a new era with and for the people, “to write a new volume of Austrian history in which the citizens are the main characters and the politicians the supporting actors.” “It will be an era of freedom, security, prosperity, justice, common sense, peace and, above all, respect for the people. Because Article One of our Federal Constitution states: ‘The law emanates from the people’ and that is what makes a people’s chancellor for me – first the people, then the chancellor,” explained Kickl. When he hears from the media, so-called experts and other politicians that this and that cannot be implemented, that there are international treaties and that there is no room for maneuver, then “in 99 percent of cases that means that the politician lacks the ability or the courage to do so.”
Kickl invited the visitors to take a mental journey back in time to the time of his childhood and youth: “It was a good time and probably no coincidence that it was the last decades before joining the EU. I say that because the politicians of the unity party now always say that it is not their fault, but the crises around us that are to blame for people’s worse off. But there were crises back then too: the Cold War, two superpowers opposing each other, the oil crisis, the war between Iraq and Iran. The big difference between now and then is that our parents could live well with the money they earned if they were frugal, and could even put a little aside. Something else was different back then: it was safe, women and girls did not have to fear harassment at the outdoor pool. Everything was different in schools too, the few immigrant children knew that they had to make an effort and integrate, and it worked. Why was everything like that back then and is it so different today? The answer is logical: Because back then, normality and common sense were at the centre of politics and there were real statesmen at work who had only one goal, namely to make life better for the people!” explained the Freedom Party’s federal party chairman.
“My vision is that one day in the distant future people will look back on the time with a Freedom Party chancellor and say: It was a good time, a time of security and justice, of confidence and optimism. That is what I am doing politics for!”, Kickl outlined his clear goal and explained, using the example of one person’s life path, where the Freedom Party would ensure improvements.
“We need a child-friendly society, so young people in particular need relief, because they need the appropriate resources, especially when they are starting their careers and starting a family. Once a child is born, it needs care – and we stand for real freedom of choice: more childcare places, whose opening times are based on the parents’ working hours, but also a clear yes to childcare in the family. It is unbearable when mothers are ‘put down’ for choosing to spend the most important time with their child,” said Kickl. If the children then go to school, they must receive the best education: “And by that I mean reading, writing, arithmetic and no gender madness, gender confusion or drag queens!” When they are later eligible to vote, these young people should not only be allowed to vote every five years, but their participation should be strengthened through more direct democracy in the form of the liberal people’s initiative. “When choosing a career, apprenticeships must be made more attractive, because these are the professions that we urgently need in our country. When young men join the army, they must be able to be sure that they are soldiers of a neutral state and are not being sent to other countries for the interests of some power. Young people also need affordable housing and the opportunity to own property. This is also what the socialists do not understand, namely that property means freedom and we want to protect this freedom – so a clear no to new taxes, no to inheritance and wealth taxes or the vacancy tax!” Kickl continued, stressing that secure and good jobs are just as important as competitive companies.
“We need to reverse the trend towards positive things, which means strengthening companies. I am committed to this! We also need to look at employees, the top performers. According to our model, someone who works more will pay less tax. This is why relief is needed. But there are also people who want to perform but cannot, and then the duty of care comes into play. And here I am talking about minimum income, and I believe that this should only be a privilege for citizens!”, explained the FPÖ chairman. When working life comes to an end, it is time for a well-earned pension, which should be possible after 45 years – without deductions. There must be a tax bonus for those who want to work from 60 to 65, and those who want to work beyond that should not have to pay any taxes or contributions at all.
“Austria should have the best health and care system in Europe,” said Kickl, pledging to make improvements in this important area. The money is there, but it is being used incorrectly. Every politician must decide whether they are on the side of the patients, doctors, medical and nursing staff, or on that of the black-red administrative officials. Just like health care, security is a basic need: “For this we not only need more police officers, but also politicians who stand behind them. Of course we also need remigration, there are various options for this, the most expensive and complicated of which is deportation. I therefore say that it is much better if these ‘new mass migrants’ do not come to Austria at all! With a liberal people’s chancellor, we will no longer accept asylum applications, we will make Austria as uncomfortable a place of asylum as possible and stop the transition from asylum to citizenship.”
There is “an incredible amount to do for this country,” emphasized FPÖ federal party chairman Herbert Kickl, but what will make the difference is “the unconditional will to win.” “It is the unconditional belief in one’s own power and strength, the devotion to one’s own people!” Kickl cited the story of the first ascent of Mount Everest without additional oxygen by Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler in 1978 as an example, when public opinion at the time did not think this was possible, but the population celebrated them as heroes of mountaineering. “Our ‘Mount Everest’ is September 29th. Together we have already conquered many ‘peaks’ – we have broken the compulsory vaccination and the Corona regime, we have celebrated historic successes in state elections that resulted in participation in government where the other parties had to change their positions due to the will of the voters, and together we achieved first place in the EU elections! Let us be clear that our task goes far beyond the interests of each individual: We, the Freedom Party, are the tool for giving Austrians hope and a future and taking away their worries and needs. Together we will usher in a new era in which the people are the boss!” promised FPÖ federal party chairman Herbert Kickl.

Kickl predicted that this firewall would suffer the same fate as the Berlin Wall.
