Herbert Kickl is the leader of Austria's hard-right Freedom Party (FPÖ). He served as interior minister in a previous government around 2019. In the September 2024 election his party came first with 29% of the vote, but coalition talks with the ÖVP collapsed over disagreements on Europe policy and whether German should be the sole official language at universities. Christian Stocker, the ÖVP leader, has called him a threat to democracy and a security risk. Mr Kickl terms political rivals "traitors to the people".
It is well known that *things* from undesirable universes are always seeking an entrance into this one, which is the psychic equivalent of handy for the buses and closer to the shops.
