"Krone" commentary
No beer with Kickl
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen It's unbelievable what this still young year 2025 has already offered in terms of foreign and domestic policy.
Exactly one month ago, the coalition negotiations between the FPÖ and ÖVP had reached a critical point, when I wrote here that the party leaders Herbert Kickl and Christian Stocker, "who had been extremely reserved towards each other for years", had met several times within a month, but always only briefly. I asked the rhetorical question: "Small talk? Friendly words? Even a beer for two?" To be answered predictably with "No".
Three days later, the blue-black negotiations finally broke down and Kickl became - depending on your point of view - the "not-yet-chancellor", the "not-yet-chancellor" (his own definition) or the "will-not-chancellor" (according to ÖVP party leader Wöginger).
At most, Kickl continues to drink beer with party friends, as he did on "Blue Ash Wednesday" in Ried.
Stocker, on the other hand, drinks beer with his new red and pink government partners. In parliament on Friday, he recalled that he had learned in local politics "to find solutions over a proverbial beer".
That's quite something: sometimes not having a beer (or a glass of wine or a coffee) alone with your friends can be good - at best: good for the country.
