FPÖ pushes Kickl as ‘chancellor of the people’ in bold 2028 power play

The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) in Lower Austria has stepped up its criticism of the federal government. Calling for a political reset, the party is pushing for Herbert Kickl to take on the role of 'chancellor of the people.'

At a recent gathering, the FPÖ reaffirmed its ambition to lead in the next state election. The party aims to become the strongest political force in the Wiener Neustadt district by 2028. Officials highlighted strong past election results to back their claim as a trusted voice for local residents.

The FPÖ’s push for dominance in Wiener Neustadt comes alongside calls for broader political change. With Landbauer firmly at the helm and Kickl framed as a future politico, the party is setting clear targets. The next state election will test whether their strategy translates into stronger voter backing.
