Good news from Austria: The Right coalesces to take power

Christian Stocker, the new leader of the conservative Austrian People's Party (ÖVP), said today his party is prepared to negotiate with the far-right Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) to agree on a pathway to forming a coalition government.

As reported on WWW, the FPÖ won the most seats in Austria's parliamentary election last September. The ÖVP subsequently tried to keep them out of power by cobbling together a coalition of centrist parties with the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ), and the liberal NEOS. They failed.

Chancellor Karl Nehammer, leader of the ÖVP, maintained his opposition to governing with the FPÖ, and was duly ousted by more practical members of his own party, who preferred collaboration with the rightists to a continuing stalemate. The only alternative was a new election, which could only have been held around the end of December. Moreover, polling indicated that the FPÖ would win another election even more convincingly.

Austrian President Alexander van der Bellen said this afternoon that he had the impression that, with Herr Nehammer out of the picture, the voices within the ÖVP rejecting collaboration with the FPÖ had become significantly quieter. He will therefore start talks tomorrow with FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl  about forming a new government. 

Walt's comment: This is a real Kickl in the ass to the lefties and Euro-wienies. Happy New Year too the people of Austria!

People's Parties on the rise. Are you in?

Countries with red-and-white flags have a propensity, it seems, to welcome "People's Parties", to stand up for the rights of their own citizens over those of outsiders. Switzerland has the Swiss People's Party. Austria has the Austrian People's Party. And, as reported here earlier this month, Maxime "Mad Max" Bernier has found the People's Party of Canada/Parti Populaire du Canada. (Notice the beautiful flag in the picture.) At least two of Walt's agents have joined. If you're a Canuck and you think unity is more important than diversity, do ye likewise!

Where were we... Yes, Switzerland, Austria, Canada... and let's not forget Denmark, whose Danish People's Party leads the alliance opposed to the Social Democrats, and has already been effective in getting the country's parliament to pass a motion, in February of 2017, calling on the pinko government to reduce the number of asylum-seekers and "family reunification" migrants. See "'Ethnic cleansing' of Europeans opposed by Danish parliament", WWW 17/2/17,

Also present in the Danish parliament is the Conservative People's Party. And now there's another one, even further to the right, called the New Right [Politicians who tell it like it is! Ed.], led by a woman [obviously. Ed.] named Pernille Vermund. Here's her pic. Notice the beautiful flag.)

Would you vote for her? The New Right received 4.6% per cent of votes in a recent election, and an opinion poll from Norstat shows that the party is now larger than the two bourgeois parties, the Conservative People's Party and the Liberal Alliance. They have almost doubled their support since August. Why is the popularity of the New Right growing so fast? Check out this statement from Ms Vermund.

The New Right have been passionately critical of the Danish People's Party, which they say is not conservative or populist, but leftist on economics, and "confusing" on issues of immigration, much like Canada's so-called Conservative Party. The New Right has put immigration policy at the heart of its platform. They want to see a total stop to asylum-seekers, with migrants already in country being expelled at their first criminal conviction.

They also want to introduce the requirement that foreigners support themselves and not suck off the government tit. "Muslim welfare migrants" should be deported, they say. How novel! "The policy currently underway does not solve the problems. They get worse. It will not get any better. Our goal is to reverse the trend before it is too late."

How Austrians deal with the Muslim immigrant problem

In "Anti-immigrant Austrian voters won't be denied this time!" (WWW 15/10/17) Walt predicted that the results of that day's general election would come as an unpleasant surprise to the globalist, pro-EU politicians and (((controlled media))) who were saying that Marine Le Pen's defeat in last spring's French presidential election meant that nationalism and anti-immigrant sentiment were on the wane in Europe. They were wrong. I was right! (Lifetime pct .992.)

When the votes were counted, the centre-right, (somewhat) anti-immigrant Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) came first, and my choice, the nationalist, (decidedly) anti-immigrant Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) came a respectable third. How (I hear some of you ask) can you say you were right? Well, here's what I wrote in the aforementioned post:

[Sebastian] Kurz [the leader of the ÖVP] seems likely to become the next chancellor (= prime minister) of a coalition government in which his party will be joined by... wait for it... the FPÖ! The Social Democrats, who were the junior partners with the ÖVP in the last government, will challenge the FPÖ for second place, but even if they finish second, the ÖVP will have little choice (because of the immigration issue) but to work with the FPÖ, leaving the liberals in opposition.

And so it came to pass that, on the 16th of this month, the new coalition government was announced. Herr Kurz is the Chancellor. The FPÖ, led by Heinz-Christian Strache (pictured) holds the key ministries of defence, foreign affairs and the interior. (For North Americans, the ministry of the interior, in most European governments, is responsible for such things as immigration, internal security and the police.)

The new government plans to act quickly and firmly to deal with the influx of Muslim "refugees" and asylum-seekers and the threatened Islamization of the land of the edelweiss. Here's how.

• Welfare payments to accepted refugees will be cut in half.
• Newcomers will have to hand over any cash and valuables they bring with them. (The Danes already thought of this.)
• Newcomers will also have to waive medical confidentiality, so they can be properly screened for social and other diseases.
• Islamic schools will be monitored more closely, and closed if they break rules or accept foreign funding.
• Sentences for drug and sex crimes will be made stiffer.
• Over 2000 more police will patrol the streets to keep Austrians safe.

And that's only part of the larger picture. Under the new coalition government, Austria is moving steadily to the right, and to closer co-operation with central European governments like those of Hungary and Poland who are pledged to halt or even reverse the Merkelization (read: Islamization or mongrelization) of Europe. Will the AABC countries draw any lessons Austria's vote to remain white and Christian? Let us hope so. Let us pray so!

Anti-immigrant Austrian voters won't be denied this time!

The last time I wrote at length about Austrian politics was in the middle of 2016, when a conspiracy of the mainstream parties robbed the right-wing populist Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) of victory in that country's presidential election. On 1 July 2016 the Constitutional Court ruled that there had been some "irregularities" and ordered a do-over. The result was a clear(er) win for the pro-EU former Greenie Alexander Van der Bellen.

The liberal meeja were all cock-a-hoop over the defeat of FPÖ leader Norbert Hofer, saying that Austrian voters had "decisively rejected the possibility of the EU getting its first far-right head of state, instead electing a former leader of the Green party who said he would be an 'open-minded, liberal-minded and above all a pro-European president'." (The Grauniad, 4/12/16) All very well, but liberals and one-worlders lost sight of the fact that the presidency of Austria is a ceremonial position. The president is just a figurehead. Real power lies with the Austrian parliament.

Today, Austrians voted in a general election in which the main issue was immigration. Overwhelmingly negative public sentiment has forced even the mainstream political parties to call for tougher immigration policies, and the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) is expected to increase its representation in parliament significantly.

The frontrunner, according to the latest polls, is the conservative People's Party (ÖVP), led by 31-year-old Sebastian Kurz, another selfie-loving glamour boy in the mold of Canada's Trudeau or France's Macron. Herr Kurz seems likely to become the next chancellor (= prime minister) of a coalition government in which his party will be joined by... wait for it... the FPÖ! The Social Democrats, who were the junior partners with the ÖVP in the last government, will challenge the FPÖ for second place, but even if they finish second, the ÖVP will have little choice (because of the immigration issue) but to work with the FPÖ, leaving the liberals in opposition.

Immigration has been a dominant issue in the campaign, and the election comes amid anxiety in Austria (and Europe as a whole) over the huge influx of illegal migrants, "refugees" and asylum-seekers which fuelled an electoral breakthrough by the AfD (Alternativ für Deutschland)in neighbouring Germany last month. See "German election results 'a political earthquake'", WWW 24/9/17.

Since the beginning of the refugee crisis in 2015, the political landscape of Austria has shifted to the right. Just how far it has shifted should be known in the next six hours. Stay tuned.
