Herbert Kickl urges "remigration" and a strong leader at FPÖ autumn rally

During the FPÖ's annual autumn gathering in the Hartberg Oktoberfest tent, party chairman Herbert Kickl addressed the crowd, urging a policy of "remigration" and calling for a system overhaul under a "people's chancellor" to rescue Austria. The event featured performances before the speeches and was attended by regional FPÖ leader Mario Kunasek, who cautioned against "political Islam" while commending the ÖVP for its emphasis on employment.

Kickl ridiculed ÖVP chairman Christian Stocker and Social Party leader Andreas Babler, and dismissed federal relief programs as jokes, noting that energy and fuel subsidies were insufficient. He portrayed the forthcoming national election as a "fate vote" that could deliver a strong government and a fortified Austria, promising a future where the country becomes the least attractive asylum destination in Europe. The rally concluded with patriotic songs and applause.
