Herbert Kickl&#8217;s possible accession to the Austrian chancellorship could have implications for the EU at a time when Donald Trump&#8217;s return to the White House, Russia&#8217;s war in Ukraine and the Draghi report on European competitiveness are calling on the 27 to play as one.<\/p>\n<p>Back to square one. Initially kept out of the negotiations to form a coalition government, the Freedom Party of Austria (FP\u00d6) is on the doorstep of the Chancellery. In a U-turn, President Alexander Van der Bellen has tasked the far-right FP\u00d6 led by Herbert Kickl with forming a government, following the failure of negotiations between conservatives, liberals and social democrats.<\/p>\n<p>The FP\u00d6 is vehemently opposed to sanctions against Russia and to sending arms to Ukraine, in the name of Austrian neutrality. In the name of this constitutional principle, adopted in 1955, Austria is not, for example, a member of NATO. &#8221;They would like to see the war end as soon as possible, whatever that means for Ukraine,&#8221; says Stefan Lehne, a researcher at the Carnegie Europe think tank.<\/p>\n<p>Rejection of immigration is another of the FP\u00d6&#8217;s flagship projects. Herbert Kickl advocates closing borders, remigrating foreigners and opposing the right of asylum. &#8221;He has called for the formation of an Austrian fortress essentially to protect us from the influx of migrants,&#8221; Lehne tells Euronews. The FP\u00d6 rejected the European Pact on Migration and Asylum, adopted in 2024, which aims to step up the fight against illegal immigration and ensure greater solidarity between Member States in the event of mass arrivals of migrants. &#8221;Essentially, they want to renationalise migration policy,&#8221; says Lehne.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2025\/01\/07\/the-far-right-is-on-the-verge-of-gaining-power-in-austria-the-eu-holds-its-breath\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2025\/01\/07\/the-far-right-is-on-the-verge-of-gaining-power-in-austria-the-eu-holds-its-breath\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/eu-holds-its-breath-as-far-right-in-austria-edges-closer-to-power\/\">EU holds its breath as far-right in Austria edges closer to power<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2743,274,1876,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-136377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-austria","tag-eu","tag-far-right","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136377"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136377\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
