Accordingly, he hopes for a “fall of the wall” on the day of the National Council elections, as he said at the official start of the election campaign on Saturday in Graz. Kickl wants to continue to be the “People’s Chancellor” and thus write “a new era in Austrian history” after the election.
Kickl had referred to statements made by other party representatives about a “firewall” that they wanted to build against the Freedom Party after the election. The Austrians knew exactly what that meant, said the FPÖ’s top candidate in his speech – namely, “in reality, an anti-democratic firewall against our own population, like the one that was built through Berlin.” He therefore promised a “fall of the wall” on election day on September 29.

Kickl also relied on dissatisfaction and frustration among the population and, to this end, reminded people once again of the corona measures. “We do not forget and Austria does not forget,” he said, speaking of former “harassment,” “humiliations” and “meanness.” In contrast, there is the “festival of freedom” and patriotism in Graz. A “fresh wind of change” is blowing the dirt back into the faces of those “who throw it at us.”
For Kickl, the fact that other parties are now demanding stricter rules against uncontrolled immigration is a sign that “they are up to their necks in water.” In the same breath, the competition is pointing the finger at the FPÖ and calling the Freedom Party “enemies of democracy” and “extremists.” But Kickl also continues to see his party as the only defender of neutrality. In this regard, Austria is “a Gallic village.”
Kickl was decidedly conservative in his views on the topic of family, and hopes to have many healthy children and marriages in the future. And: “Bringing a child into the world is much more than a biological act,” he said. The offspring must be made familiar with “our culture” and language. But Kickl also spoke out in favor of property, which is actually a favorite topic of the ÖVP. “Property is a form of freedom,” said the FPÖ chairman, who warned against Marxists and communists.

As a patron saint ruling in “Fortress Austria,” Kickl presented himself as a supporter of both entrepreneurs and employees, old and sick people – provided that the measures benefit Austrians. Accordingly, he described “immigration into the social system” as a “mass migration.” “We finally need remigration,” he again demanded more than just a stop to immigration. The police should be given more support in the fight against “foreigner gangs.”
Kickl also recalled the “departure centers” for asylum seekers that were set up during his time as Interior Minister, which must be reinstated. He wants to make Austria “a little uncomfortable, not inhumane, but uncomfortable.” None of these proposals are right-wing extremist, by the way – “it’s completely normal.” None of this is “a security risk or dangerous for our democracy,” as critics of the Freedom Party often see it.
At the end of his more than hour-long speech, Kickl gave his fans a picture from his childhood – “I was a little boy back then, ten years old.” He compared the Blues’ ambitions to come first in the election with the first ascent of Mount Everest without additional oxygen by Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler. “The world was excited about this great idea and I was one of them,” said the FPÖ leader. “Now we are standing in front of our Mount Everest.”
The Freedom Party staged the show at the Graz Exhibition Center with unprecedented media effort – between Oberkrainer sound and Trump rally. The staging by the party’s own media, especially “FPÖ TV”, also exceeded all dimensions previously seen by the Blue Party. Ten live cameras broadcast the opening, plus several more. However, the Blue show faced strong competition from the Airpower 2024 air show in Zeltweg on the same day.
A little Styrian election campaigning was also practiced at the start of the National Council elections. State party leader Mario Kunasek once again made a bid for state governor – albeit under Kickl, as he wished. “We will then accompany you as Federal Chancellor, as our People’s Chancellor,” said Kunasek, who was convinced that the Freedom Party would win the National Council elections. The show program relied on tried and tested elements with the John Otti Band.

Herbert Kickl’s Ambitious Election Campaign: “Fall of the Wall” and a New Era for Austria
Austria’s National Council elections are just around the corner, and Herbert Kickl, the Freedom Party of Austria’s (FPÖ) top candidate, is leaving no stone unturned in his bid to become the “People’s Chancellor” and write a new chapter in Austrian history. In a recent speech at the official start of the election campaign in Graz, Kickl promised a “fall of the wall” on election day, September 29, comparing it to the historical fall of the Berlin Wall.
A “Fresh Wind of Change”
Kickl’s speech was met with enthusiasm by his supporters, who are frustrated with the current state of affairs in Austria. He reminded them of the “festival of freedom” and patriotism in Graz, promising a “fresh wind of change” that would blow away the “harassment,” “humiliations,” and “meanness” of the past. The FPÖ leader wants to make Austria “a little uncomfortable, not inhumane, but uncomfortable” for those who have exploited the system.
Immigration and Security
Kickl’s stance on immigration is clear: he wants to put an end to “uncontrolled immigration” and encourage “remigration.” He recalled the “departure centers” for asylum seekers that were set up during his time as Interior Minister, which must be reinstated. The police should be given more support in the fight against “foreigner gangs.” These proposals, Kickl argues, are not right-wing extremist, but rather “completely normal” measures to protect Austria’s interests.
Family, Property, and Neutrality
In his speech, Kickl also touched on his conservative views on family, hoping to see many healthy children and marriages in the future. He emphasized the importance of teaching “our culture” and language to future generations. Additionally, he spoke out in favor of property, which he sees as a form of freedom, warning against Marxists and communists.
Austria’s Next Chapter
Kickl’s ambition is clear: he wants to lead the FPÖ to victory in the National Council elections and become the “People’s Chancellor.” He compared his party’s ambitions to the first ascent of Mount Everest without additional oxygen by Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler, saying that “now we are standing in front of our Mount Everest.”
Current Polls
According to recent polls, the FPÖ is currently leading the race, with the ÖVP and SPÖ following closely behind [1[1[1[1[1[1[1[1].

Herbert Kickl: The FPÖ Leader’s Vision for Austria
As the National Council elections approach, Herbert Kickl, the chairman of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), has been vocal about his party’s stance on various issues. In a recent speech in Graz, Kickl expressed his hopes for a “fall of the wall” on election day, September 29, drawing parallels with the Berlin Wall that once divided Germany [1[1].
Kickl’s statement was in response to other parties’ plans to build a “firewall” against the FPÖ after the election. He accused them of trying to create an “anti-democratic firewall” against the Austrian population, similar to the Berlin Wall [1[1].
“We do not forget, Austria does not forget”
Kickl also capitalized on the dissatisfaction and frustration among the population, reminding them of the hardships endured during the corona pandemic. He emphasized that the FPÖ will not forget the “harassment,” “humiliations,” and “meanness” inflicted upon the Austrian people [2[2]. Instead, he promised a “festival of freedom” and patriotism, with a “fresh wind of change” blowing away the dirt thrown by those who opposed the FPÖ.
Immigration and National Identity
Kickl has been critical of uncontrolled immigration, which he believes is a threat to Austria’s national identity. He accused other parties of trying to build a firewall against the FPÖ, but ultimately, they are up to their necks in water [2[2]. The FPÖ chairman reiterated his party’s commitment to defending neutrality and preserving Austria’s cultural heritage.
Family, Property, and Freedom
Kickl expressed conservative views on family, hoping for many healthy children and marriages in the future. He emphasized the importance of instilling Austrian culture and language in the next generation. Additionally, he supported
