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!

European Right on the rise! Freedom Party wins Austrian election

More good news from central Europe, this time from Austria. Kronen Zeitung reports that the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) has topped the polls in this weekend's election for the National Council, winning an estimated 29.2% of the total vote. 

The populist party (labelled "far right" by the lickspittle media, of course) led by former interior minister Herbert Kickl bested the governing neo-liberal Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP) led by Chancellor Karl Nehammer at 26%, and the left-wing opposition Social Democratic Party (SPÖ) at 21%. The farther-left New Austria and Liberal Forum (NEOS) got 9% and eco-wienie Green Alternative (GRÜNE) brang up the rear with 8%.

The win for FPÖ) echos strong showings for the like-minded [and right-minded. Ed.] Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD) in elections in the German states of Saxony, Thuringia and Brandenburg. See "Good news from Occupied Germany" WWW 31/8/24, and "More good news for Germany, but what about the USA and Canada?", WWW 10/9/24.

From this side of the Atlantic, it looks like yet another defeat for the socialists, Euro-wienies, one-worlders and their fellow travellers. Issues such as mass migration, the economic downturn throughout the EU, and growing opposition to support for the war in Ukraine propelled the Freedom Party to victory.

The results mark the first time in the Second Republic of Austria, and the first time since the Freedom Party was founded in 1956, that the FPÖ came out on top of a national election. Herr Kickl, who stridently opposed coronavirus lockdown diktats and serves as a leading critic of the open borders agenda, called for a "Fortress Austria" -- an immediate halt to the acceptance of asylum-seekers and bogus refueees -- and backed "remigration" policies of encouraging foreigners to return to their homelands.

Herbert Kickl said after his victory that his party is ready to govern and that it will not back away from its positions. "My big thanks go to the citizens," he said. "It was not easy to go against this political system. The voters have delivered a powerful message."

Meanwhile, in America and Canada, who dares to campaign on an platform which is honestly and openly against mass immigration? Anyone? Answer comes there none. 

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.

"I only came to fuck the women," sez Muslim "asylum-seeker"

Muslim "refugees" and asylum-seekers in their 1000s are spreading throughout Europe, a-rippin', a-rappin' and a-rapin'! And the Europeans can't get rid of them. Today's case in point comes from Austria, where Nachtrichten.ap reports that a Muslim "asylum-seeker" whose claim was rejected is now on trial for an attempted rape in the city of Linz. When asked why he came to Austria, he told he only came to Europe to "fuck the women."

Last April, the 35-year-old citizen of Algeria attacked a 41-year-old woman at a bus stop. Timea Lorenz, who went public with a description of her ordeal, fought back bravely. By the time the attacker had pulled her pants off and lay down on top of her, she had bitten him through the lip. The Arab then punched her several times in the face before running off. Ms Lorenz lost consciousness and suffered severe injuries, including a broken nose. Witnesses, alerted by the noise, observed the attacker running off half-naked, bleeding profusely.

The would-be rapist, who cannot be named for reasons which (of course) have nothing to do with political correctness, was denied asylum in Austria in 2012, and deported to Hungary, from where he had entered the country. However, he returned some time later, using a fake French passport. In November 2015 he was arrested for an attack upon a 58-year-old woman, and ordered deported. However, since there is no extradition treaty between Austria and Algeria, the deportation order could not be enforced. Algeria routinely refuses to take back any of its citizens who have been successful in getting into Europe.

So what to do with this criminal? The Austrians have decided to test him for insanity. And of course they're reconsidering his claim for asylum, because he's obviously one of those poor, downtrodden, "marginalized" followers of the "religion of peace", who we have a duty to protect, yada yada yada. Isn't that why he came to Europe? Err, maybe not. Here's what he told the court: "Ich bin nach Österreich gekommen, um hier die Frauen zu ficken." Obviously not insane!

Footnote: As reported here 3/7/16, the Austrian Freedom Party was successful in having the result of the disputed presidential election (referred to in the headline cited above) set aside. A do-over was scheduled for next month, but has not been postponed because of, errr, "technical difficulties" with the postal ballots -- the same problem that caused the previous election to be voided! Curious, isn't it....

9 "refugees" rape Austrian woman; news hushed up until after election

Last May, the Austrians held a presidential election in which the No. 1 issue was immigration -- specifically, the admission to the country of hordes of Muslim invaders posing as asylum-seekers. Anti-immigrant backlash looked like putting the anti-immigrant Freedom Party into office. But just when FPÖ candidate Norbert Hofer was measuring the drapes of the Hofburg, 1000s of postal ballots suddenly appeared, giving the edge to the incumbents. See "Absentee votes deny Freedom Party victory in Austrian election", WWW 23/5/16.

The good news is that the vote was so close, and the suspicion of electoral fraud so strong, that the Freedom Party's appeal to the Austrian Constitutional Court was successful, and a do-over has been ordered. The reply will take place on either 25 September or 2 October.

Rewind to New Year's Day in Vienna, when a white German woman went to police claiming that she had been raped by a gang of Arab foreigners. Inspektor Katzenjammer didn't exactly spring into action. Only last week -- the middle of August -- following a painstaking (and ballsachingly slow) investigation, and careful analysis of DNA evidence and CCTV camera footage, did Austrian police announce the arrests of nine (9) Iraqi "refugees". Aged between 21 and 47, all nine had applied for or been granted asylum.

Sex attacks by Muslim "migrants" from the Middle East and North Africa are nothing new in Europe, with numerous outrages being reported in Germany, Sweden and other countries that have welcomed the poor downtrodden "refugees". Austria has seen its share of attacks, not just on women but even brutal homosexual attacks on little boys at public swimming pools.

In this case, Austrians are asking why it took nearly eight months to arrest the perps. Was the investigation so "protracted and difficult" as the police claim? Vienna police spokesthingy Paul Eidenberger said there was "no doubt about the gang rape according to the biological traces." And (they say now) what happened was pretty clear. The Arabs met the woman in Vienna's central Schwedenplatz, drugged her, and then assaulted her for four hours in an apartment where two of the attackers lived.

Surely the FPÖ can be forgiven for suggesting that the delay in arresting the criminals was a deliberate attempt to withhold the news during the run-up to the presidential election. But the cat is out of the bag now. News of the gang rape, combined with ongoing refugee-terrorist attacks and other criminal activities by the Muslim invaders, is expected to push even more Austrian voters into the FPÖ camp come the fall. Stay tuned.
