Great to be invited to the @decorrespondent.nl podcast Goede Gesprekken about Europe’s tough geopolitical position. Trump’s complicity with Putin forces Europe to stand on its own feet, requiring a "wartime mindset" with deep consequences for European identity.

But the current Austrian caretaker government will be more open to it than a potential FPOE-led government which is clearly opposed to common defense and good friends with Russia

Gerade ein automatisch übersetztes Koch-Video gesehen, in dem "Commis Chef" als "Kommunistenführer" übersetzt wurde, und jetzt habe ich wieder etwas weniger Angst, von der AI so rasch ersetzt zu werden.

yes, totally agree. As they said in German, es war keine Brandmauer, sondern ein Brandmauerchen. But a Kickl as chancellor was a bridge too far for many

Austria's cordon sanitaire is broken: far-right FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl to form a government
Why this matters:
1️⃣Kickl strengthens EU’s far right .
2️⃣ FPÖ's Pro-Russia stance threatens EU support for Ukraine.
3️⃣ Kickl backs "remigration" and challenges to rule of law.

Austria’s far right rattles the gates of power

The Freedom Party is in the driver's seat to lead the next government after the centre right agreed to coalition talks.

2019 hat die ÖVP die Koalition mit der FPÖ gesprengt, weil sie Herbert Kickl für untragbar als Innenminister hielt.
Im Wahlkampf 2024 hat sie Kickl für „rechtsextrem“ u. zum „Sicherheitsrisiko“ erklärt.
Nun will die ÖVP Verhandlungen, um Kickl zum Kanzler zu machen.
Ö. Politik ist schon … besonders.

After the failed coalition talks between centrist and liberal parties in Austria, the extreme right party FPOE might end up in government after all

Austria’s coalition talks in disarray as parties fail to unite against far right

Austria’s far-right Freedom Party won the September election but has been shut out of government negotiations.

Existing work on far right highlights globalization & migration grievances, what about people’s experiences with the state?
