Arrr, matey! Herbert Kickl, the scallywag captain of Austria's Freedom crew, had a chinwag with President Van der Bellen this past Sunday. Rumors be flyin’ like cannonballs that he might be plunderin’ the throne to form a new crew, savvy? Avast, the seas be gettin’ choppy!
Ahoy there, me hearties! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn from the land of Austria! It be a tale of President Alexander Van der Bellen, who be schemin' to meet with the scallywag Herbert Kickl, a far-right buccaneer of the Freedom Party, now that the current Chancellor, Nehammer, be leavin' the ship due to failed coalition talks over gold doubloons! Arrr!Nehammer, bless his soul, ruled out sailin' with Kickl, but it seems whispers in his crew be growin' softer. The president, after consultin' with the wise men of the land, has decided to invite Kickl for a parley on the morrow. Despite Kickl’s party bein' the victor of the last election, it be a bumpy sea ahead as no other party wants to join their crew!
Kickl be grumblin' about bein' denied the chance to form a government, claimin' the Freedom Party be the only stable ship in these choppy political waters. Meanwhile, the new interim captain of Nehammer’s crew, Christian Stocker, be lookin' for a chance to negotiate governin' with Kickl, even if he’s had some harsh words for him in the past! Aye, politics be a wild sea, and we be watchin' closely for what treasure—or trouble—may come next!
