ER Editor: A reminder that Austria went to the polls in September, 2024. The populist right party under Herbert Kickl won, but it’s been impossible to get an actual government formed with Kickl’s party holding the parliamentary majority. Why? Because of the ‘nobody will work with them‘ excuse given by the President and Chancellor. So Austrians still don’t have the government they voted for. Now, the coalition trying to illegitimately form a government at the expense of Austrians just ‘failed’. Funny that.
Politico picks up the failed talks from this past Friday — Austria’s coalition talks in disarray as parties fail to unite against far right

Austria under Nehammer was particularly bad for destroying the public’s liberties and fundamental rights during the Covid period. He took over the reins at the end of 2021. He was put in power following Young Global Leader Sebastian Kurz‘s political demise, to be replaced for only 2-3 months by Soros puppet Alexander Schellenberg. A reminder that EO 13818 takes out all perpetrators of crimes against humanity and corruption on a global scale and has been in force since the end of 2017.
We suspect, as with Charles Michel and Pneumonia Queen Ursula von der Leyen, that Nehammer is indeed a ‘goner’. This from a knowledgeable person whose posts we generally trust (The Sacred Blue Tent for Jan 5):

A reminder that popular media right now is littered with stories of public figures and influencers being ill or music performers having their concerts cancelled, as well as stars selling their homes, &etc. It’s been going on for a while.

Reuters and The Guardian —
Austria’s chancellor to quit as coalition talks collapse
JACK BURGESS and BETHANY BELL for BBC
Austria’s Chancellor Karl Nehammer says he will resign in the coming days, both as chancellor and party leader, after talks about forming a coalition government collapsed.
The chancellor said his party – the conservative People’s Party (ÖVP) – and the Social Democrats had failed to agree on key issues.
The liberal Neos, another party involved in the talks, also pulled out on Friday.
In September the far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ) won an unprecedented victory in Austria’s general election, but the other parties ruled out forming a coalition with the FPÖ’s leader Herbert Kickl.
The collapse of the talks could lead to the conservatives negotiating with the far-right, or to a new election taking place, analysts have said.
The Russia-friendly FPÖ has been in a ruling coalition before. It would likely welcome a new election as opinion polls suggest its popularity has grown further since September.
The FPÖ has said in a statement on X that three months have been lost by the coalition talks and adds that “instead of stability, we have chaos”.
The party has called for Social Democrat leader Andreas Babler to also resign and said President Alexander Van der Bellen bears “a significant share of responsibility for the chaos that has arisen and the lost time”.
The FPÖ won almost 29% of the vote in September’s election, the People’s Party came second with 26.3% and the Social Democrats third, with 21%.
There was a high turnout of 77.3% as Austrian voters took part in an election dominated by the twin issues of migration and asylum, as well as a flagging economy and the war in Ukraine.
The FPÖ’s Kickl promised to build “Fortress Austria”, to restore Austrians’ security and prosperity.
The party wants firm rules on legal immigration and it has promoted the idea of remigration, which involves sending asylum seekers to their original countries.
