Almost 100 days have passed since the National Council elections and the country still does not have a government. The most likely scenario is now a blue-black government - with or without new elections! It is therefore time to take a closer look at Herbert Kickl's goals and plans. What does the FPÖ boss stand for and what hurdles must be overcome for a coalition with the ÖVP?

FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl was hopeful after his meeting with Alexander Van der Bellen. At the beginning of October, he did not yet know that the Federal President would give Karl Nehammer the mandate to form a government. More than three months later, during which it had been quiet around the FPÖ apart from the usual cross-calls, Herbert Kickl is back in the spotlight. And with the best cards in his hand that a blue party boss has ever had. The game can begin again. Victory, and with it the prize of the office of Federal Chancellor, can hardly be taken away from Kickl.
