Kurz resigned for a diffrent scandal. He resigned for faking his popularity polling in 2016, not for Ibiza
and later it turned out those fake polls that overstated his popularity in fact understated it. Laughable scandal and witch hunt. Austria will deserve the horrors that will come to them with Kickl as chancellor.
He was involved in many shady things
with tax payers money I might ad

Man the number of 'crisis' videos needed to keep up with everything is crazy.
I live in Austria and I had no clue there was a crisis going on
You should worry about your rogue minister who made a mess recently@@Ruzzky_Bly4t
Save yourself some time because most of these are not worth your attention if you are not directly affected.
calling something a "crisis" or "far right" just cause a party slightly right of the center gets more votes is the only crazy thing here.
ofc it seems more to the right when the mainstream moves to the left more and more over the years...
@@Ruzzky_Bly4tJust vote FPÖ, that is the only advice I can give you, everything else will screw us over.
The "u" in Kurz is pronounced the way as it is in butcher. But you can call him "shorty" that works too.
Fun fact, in many slavic languages, kurz means dick, which is pretty funny to think about from an ethymological standpoint, and also what his name means if you combine German and lets say Slovenian.
You know what really salts my cereal? Whenever an English speaker calls Kurzgesagt for cursed gesacked
He is suprisingly tall. My Brother was at His lawsuit
@@kaanyasin3733but Kurz still means short in german :(
@@Andreas-pj6npAnd short can also be translated as stupid, which he also was.
It was nit only vienna, carinthia too, both are SPÖ.
I've watched hundreds of TLDR videos and am still waiting for their first video without any mistakes so I can finally give them a like
they also misspelt "Kurtz" (Kurz would be correct) but who has time for details nowadays^^
@@blubthewut1688 That’s some real dedication.
Burgenland too.
@@TheAustrianAnimations87 no Burgenland was against the law, but its SPÖ.
Thankyou guys and girls for the explanation..... I'm a Brit living in Austria. Didn't notice what was happening in Vienna as I live in the foothills of the Alps.
You are mega touching grass your whole life then.
thank you for bragging
contrary to Germany, Austrian mountains already have internet ;)
It's kinda a nothingburger tbh. Elections are this year anyway. ÖVP and Greens were at each others throats before. FPÖ would have won anyway too. Didn't really change much in terms of austrian politics.
@@NIlleyla Just barely.
You forgot to mention that nehammer ruled out a coalition with herbert kickl as the leader of the fpö. Of course there have been many occasions where the övp did not hold on to there promise(like in salzburg) it is still important to mention this fact.
Because ÖVP does not hold to this promise it is not worth mentioning. Everybody knows they will govern with the FPÖ if they get the required seats.
if the övp rules something out, it's a sure sign they want to do exactly that after the election. this has held true since schüssel said "wenn wir dritte werden gehen wir in opposition".
They may break their promise, but there's still the chance, that our (Green Party) president, won't give the power to the FPÖ!
@@dawoifee it's not certain, especially since it looks like the ÖVP will be part of a coalition anyway, no matter with which party. A coalition with the FPÖ has backfired everytime for the ÖVP so far, and now in such a weak position it's unlikely to turn out better - not to say they won't be stupid enough to try anyway, but still.
easily fixable, nehammer resigns party leadership and clears the spot for someone who hasn't ruled out such a coalition... happened in the past :p
a ÖVP and FPÖ coalition is unlikely:
- while some ÖVP figures do sympathize with the FPÖ, most leading politicians (including Nehammer) have ruled a coalition with them out
- they likely won't have enough seats together for a coalition anyway, and there is no other party willing to enter a coalition with the FPÖ
- contrary to what is stated in the video, the ÖVP is willing to enter a coalition with the SPÖ, as leading figures from both parties have recently affirmed
- the president of austria has repeatedly stated in the past that he will not accept the FPÖ party leader as chancellor
The video only said it was ruled out in the previous elections not this one. The coalition i mean.
ÖVP and FPÖ coalition WOULD probably have a majority,
ÖVP and SPÖ wouldn't
Grüne ÖVP SPÖ or Neos ÖVP SPÖ perhaps
But no way for a ÖVP SPÖ coalition, Andreas Babler is also member of the SPÖ Left Faction with may be troublesome for a SPÖ ÖVP coalition
Hopefully FPÖ can actually get into power.

@@Chrissy717It is very good that the populists are on the rise, the traitors are in office now.

Thanks, Spain deserves its own video, not on Sanchez himself, but rather his coalition partners. The EU election performance for them was... Yikes
Podemos are just dumbasses atm, they split the vote from Sumar and I really don´t see the point other than petty personal vendettas. I am on the left myself and Montero and Iglesias were good as activists but Yolanda Díaz was much better at actually doing the job of being a minister than either of them and much more popular than them.
There´s far too much navel gazing and petty rivalry in the left leadership in Spain atm rather than looking at the big picture.
Indeed Sumar right now is a headless party. But they are not alone Esquerra is also leaderless and making curious political moves in the process of chossing the next autonomic president of catalonia.
It really wasn’t a bit deal
The European election in Spain has never been a great deal
Voters are punishing them
Nehammer is not the actual boss, other than in germany (I think) the chancellor cannot order other government members to do stuff.
But yeah, Austrian politics was pretty crazy the last years. RIP Pilnacek.
As a Romanian, screw Nehammer. That is all.
Austrians agree with you, he sucks
As an American living in Vienna, I think Nehammer has been good for Vienna and for Business. He has had to thread a needle tightly. I think he's a huge improvement over Kurz, Waymer Feyman or Christian Kam. Karl Nehammer is at least competent. Not so much the others.
@@LumenMichaelOne Thinking Nehammer is competent just because he's better than Kurz shows how little you understand about european politics. If you have ever followed the austrian media and the scandals he has been involved already, you would think twice before writing such a nonsense.
every *Western country BADLY NEED Right/far Right* , for at least next 10-15 years for their survival. For Canada it should be next 50 years.
Is this because of Austria's blockade / restriction on Romania's and Bulgaria's accession to the Schengen area?
As an Austrian, I appreciate your chanel for not just ignoring our small Country!
Thank you!
Strache not just offered government contracts he also illustrated which media outlets to influence in order to sway public opinion the most efficiently
He doesn´t seem to like the idea of being in charge of a democracy much.
Exactly one about privet business interest other about government interests, none are good
Strache said multiple times in that video that everything has to follow the law and he won't do anything illegal, literally. And yes this is legal here and the government gives out "inserate" to the media companies, every single government does this always.
Is this a good thing? No obviously not but this is common knowledge and no secret, just because you film it with some hidden camera it is all a scandal all of sudden for some people.
Let's not forget that he was acquitted of basically everything.
As an Austrian, that fact that we headed to another FPÖ/ÖVP coalition is insane. Those parties are involved in so many scandles, corruption and so on. Honestly my biggest hope is, that those two screw up so bad again, that their coalition collapses
😂😂 euere politiker bringt millionen krimenelle dann aber rumjammern. Richtiger katoffel.
we'll see if that works out - I fear it might not...
and honestly, while I hate to be all doomerist about this, we'll see if our democracy lasts that long
D san olle korrupt.
Farbe mocht kan unterschied du koffa :D
so the SPÖ and Green have no scandals? ^^ Kleingarten-Affäre and so on... they are ALL corrupt i assume in some way. EVERYONE!
The problem is that the entire country is drowining in corruption, no matter who is leading it. It`s very much part of Austrian mentality. It`s true that the right may be even worse, however the rest isn`t all that much better Neos are the only ones with no scandal attached to them yet but they`re still fairly young. Van der Bellen may say " so sind wir nicht" as much as he wants. It is EXACTLY how we are and have been and probably will be. It is disgraceful.
As an Austrian, the incompetence of the ÖVP is already there for all to see. They have more or less 0 credibility any more and, along with the ludicrously intolerant FPÖ, have constantly used the Greens as a political scapegoat. Thus the Greens have had their credibility and ability to push for sensible environmental laws hugely undermined by the right-wing, a tactic all to familiar in Europe currently. Considering, however, the EU Nature Restoration Act, was shown to be supported by nearly 82% of the Austrian public, it is incredibly encouraging for an environmental minister to actually do her job and support the will of the people. Being against a Nature Restoration Act should also not be considered 'controversial', as its significance and importance for both climate protection and mitigation of natural disasters such as flooding (see recent flooding issues in Bavaria stemming largely from both agroindustrial greed and political incompetence) is unarguable. The elections in September in Austria will, however, most likely see the FPÖ come into power - despite the improbability of Kickl's position as tenable in a coalition with the ÖVP or SPÖ - and will see the same cycle repeated over and over again. The inability of large swaths of the Austrian public to learn from history (considering the FPÖ was founded by former Nazi members and with Ibizagate being only five years ago) is as frustrating as it is worrying.
I happen to be a very conservative and against EU supremacy and worship of the left of this garbage institution of rich billionaires of WEF and George Soros puppet master.
but at the same time I feel disgusted by the right-wing political parties in Western European countries to create alliance with Russia.
I come from Eastern Europe, more precisely Romania.
Romania, Poland and Baltic nations don't have the nonsense woke leftist ideology that is happening in the West but at the same time we don't agree with our conservative counterparts in the West to create alliance with Russia.
or to give up on funding and helping Ukraine to not be taken over by Russia.
Russia has always been a colonialist empire that invaded and took lands from Eastern European countries. from Poland, Romania, Baltic nations and Finland.
so like I said before. it is disgusting to see Le Pen in France or AFD in Germany or FPÖ in Austria to have positive views and good relationship with Russia and Putin.
this will not go well with my country of Romania.
also, the way Austria is treating Romania by not allowing us into Schengen or how Austrian businesses abuse their power in Romania with regards to energy and forestry is criminal.
this is why I think 2 years ago there was a scandal and laws passed by the Romanian government against Austrian companies.
Le Pen, FPÖ and AFD have completely given up on their conservative and right-wing allies in Poland, Romania and Baltic nations, it seems.
at least Georgia Meloni in Italy isn't that stuoid to be into Russia and Putin.
EU should make everything that is possible to stop being dependent on Russian natural resources.
Putin is a tyrannical dictator that got rich because of Germany. Germany is a car industry manufacturing country and they are desperate for oil/gas.
Germany made Russia rich for almost 35 years by doing business with Putin.
the former chancellor, a leftist SDP leder is friends with Putin and served as a member of board for Russian companies like Gazprom or Lukoil.
Yeah, yeah, yeah pure propaganda. The only truth in this comment is that the ÖVP has lost all credibility.

- Could not find a single source that said, that support for the Act was below 70%.
- The ÖVP has constantly argued their failings to be based on their coalition, which was often adopted by Kurz - if you think using the words of the then-chancellor during his term as evidence is propaganda, then you might wanna look up what the word means (spoiler, constantly blaming other political parties for their own shortcomings is propaganda).
- The impact of agroculture on the environment is scientifically measureable and sadly devastating, as it is now.
- The FPÖ still has strong ties to Burschenschaften to this very day.
If you take the words of the only party that doesn't care about truth at all, then you might think this to be propaganda. Problem is, that you can fact check all of those things easily, if you ACTUALLY think critically and "do your own research", as they like to say. And frankly, you should do both of those things. It's not hard to see that the FPÖ talks trash but nothing else. Every single thing they say is for their own self-interest, not for the public good, as has been shown in every single voting decision made within parliament within at least the last 20 years.
@@stammesbruder What exactly is bad about ties to Burschenschaften?
In Austria we have a political scandal in every party every year or so, so it really doesnt matter...
After the not so recent election in Poland I had a lot of thoughts, on why people are woting for certain parties. In short the political parties which you feel align with your conscience, are detached form the core problems of the people, and the more fringe political parties that 5 years ago you would not event consider are talking about the core problems. We are all hearing that the far right is rising its ugly head, but no one is talking about that the mainstream parties are ignoring everyday people probles problems for higher ideas. When the mainstream party is talking about decarbonisation, and the fringe far right party is making sensible plans for afordable housing (wchich should be a point of the traditional left) people will wote for their own interest first. To summarise we should critice the fringe parties, but also hold accauntable the mainstream parties for not beeing in contact with the people, because for that reason far right and left will rise and is rising.
Because the traditionalist left (Lewica) only cares about LGBT, abortion and making a fool of themselves on Twitter
Most of Europe either has a broken Centre-right party or a Centre-right party that's governing to the left of the their traditional voter base. Because of that a right-wing alternative party forms and grows massively. For examples of the former France's Republicans are a shell of their former self and have effectively been overshadowed by a fringe nobody party due to voter defections in their weakened state, and the Tories are an example of one abandoning the whole being Conservative thing what with their latest leader being on TV celebrating Diversity and being the only member in their international party coalition to have a LGBT wing while most of their follow counterparts don't even go that far.
I think this is not quite accurate: It's usually the communist parties that focus on affordable living. And at least in Austria, the KPÖ is quite left leaning.
However, the right wing *populist* party of course also promises "we make everything better", but usually without proper planning or concrete details.
I fundamentally disagree with right wing parties, but it's the populist parties that are dangerous in my opinion.
I agree though, that it's a shame that many parties ignore the affordability topic. E.g., as much as I support reducing carbon emissions, we need to consider the people who won't be able to afford buying an electric car..
What? Is that guy called Kamehameha?

Wow the policy program of the FPÖ reads like Putins wishlist.
Can one then say the greens policy program reads like Bidens wishlist
@@JUAN_OLIVIER I wish it was but sadly Biden is not as green as his political enemies try to paint him as.
that's their official program. inofficially they took part in the far-right extremist conference that proposed conquering territory in nothern africa and deporting everyone who's an immigrant, supports immigration or disagrees with their views in general there.
That's because it is.
@@JUAN_OLIVIER Let's try something: travel to both the Kremlin and the White house and loudly critizise Putin and Biden respectively.
Let's see what happens and if it might change your opinion.
@1:55 Actually, here in Germany coalitions between the center right CDU and the Greens are not new on a state level and can work. But I guess on a state level such a coalition is easier than on a federal level.
They'll probably form one with left in east Germany pretty soon
Yeah well at least in Baden-Württemberg the Greens are basically the same in green so to say
Just vote AfD.
Oh yes. A coalition between a party that claims its not giving into social activism and a party that pretty much is only that. You know the reason the AfD even exists in Germany is because the so called Conservative Mainstream can't even be conservative. Whenever a Centre-right party is weak or acts to Liberal there is inevitably a new right-wing alternative party to form. Germany and the UK is basically the latter while France is the Former.
@@karankapoor2701oh yes. A Conservative Party in a coalition with a Socialist party... a joke in itself which is why AfD is even possible. The CDU is a strong Centre-right party there shouldn't be a right-wing alternative party. The only reason its even a thing is because the CDU keeps failing to be Conservative.
When you thought France’s politics were the wildest you have ministers arguing over who has jurisdiction over each law in Austria
"Center Right" is... generous for the ÖVP which has increasingly turned into FPÖ-light.
seems to be the trend in whole europe tbh.. center nowadays is what the usual right used to be
they even adopted the colour. they're baby-blue instead of the fpö's deep blue.
That's not true at all the ÖVP is a left wing party. They never implement anything "right wing" they just say so but never do. I don't understand how people still don't get that.
Once again, please consider moving back to bar charts instead of pies. These are very unclear (in a way that you present on the screen).
It's like kindergarten.
both are sulking and neither wants to do anything with the others.
0:23 don’t do this. Don’t start a graph a 5/10% rather and 0, it’s very confusing, and made me think the greens were now irrelevent rather than both minor parties having the 10% needed which added to either SPO or OVP could make a coalition. Always set your graph at 0 unless you justify it.
If it’s at 5% because of a threshold a dashed line is more than sufficient.
Alternative title: Will people vote differently after their government completely betrayed them
you do know that 83% of Austrians was for the EU nature law + The ÖVP is so angry about that because someone else was doing the thing the ÖVP is doing the whole time. I know having the truth in front of you is bitter and you can´t blame the Greens or the Media for this one, I would suggest you start reading Serious media and not something that ÖVP and FPÖ are talking (cause if you want that discussion you wont be happy afterwards to hear that but the FPÖ can only do well if Austria is doing badly. (I mean, they had already provided the Minister of the Interior, that was even Kickl and ehm wait, what did he do again? oh yes, let the Office for the Protection of the Constitution storm)
1. Strache was not Vice-Chancellor when the Ibiza video was recorded since that was before the 2017 election.
2. Leonore Gewessler is not an MP, she resigned when she became a minister
3. The Green‘s support hasn’t „tanked“. They still scored 11% in the EU elections despite their scandals, which is still respectable.
4. ÖVP hasn’t ruled out a coalition with anyone except the FPÖ. They might go back on that promise as they did in Salzburg and Lower Austria but there is a consensus among the party establishment that they dont want to work with the FPÖ so a coalition is far from guaranteed
Please be more thorough with your research and analysis next time
The more I watch this channel, the more I feel like they actually put out pretty sloppily researched content. Thus far, I have always had gripes with every single video about Germany (I'm German) and I'm starting to feel like the only reason I don't have similar gripes with their other videos is that I'm unfamiliar with those other countries' political issues.

As someone from vienna we are in a tough spot, and i fully blame the rise of the right wing on the fact that left wing parties downplayed or pretended not to see the many issues mass immigration from "islamic countries" have caused, especially in some districts in vienna. And there isnt really an "alternative right wing party".
Too bad they are suckers for russian bribes, where some members of their party received some personal donations in order to vote against russian sanctions back in 2014.
The only reason far right is gaining ground in Europe is because the other parties refuse to acknowledge the immigration crisis, better yet they keep making it worse, ignoring it and calling everyone who thinks otherwise a bigot/racist, etc.
Of course the economic crisis doesn't help, but immigration is a huge concern for a large number of people in Europe
What is this 'mass immigration'? You have 7.9% if Muslims, vast majority of whom came to Austria in the 60s/ 70s from Turkey and in the 90s from BH, that's 60 and 30 ys ago respectively. These two communities also aren't known troublemakers. You Austrians just long after Adolf.

TLDR News try to make a title without a question mark in it challange (IMPOSSIBLE DIFFICULTY!)
Apparently there is only "center right" and "far right".
Also, left-right paradigm is a false dichotomy, trying to press complex policy ideas into a one dimensional scale
Maybe that's because the far left mostly became irrelevant in Europe over time?
What can explain
that's because modern capitalist governments are shifted to the right naturally. The left in most countries are true-center or center left, very few countries have a communist party that has any actual support.
In the USA the right wing is pretty similar to the far right and the actual far right in the US are literal neo nazis, neo-confederates, or other fascist analogs.
The left in the US is mostly center-right, and the most "extreme" left is center left, which is in line with the left wing parties in the UK or europe.
We don't have a ultra far left that has ever won a single seat in congress or in any state level government. the communist party of the US is so small that it it never mentioned even; most of our country has never even heard of it.
I do agree that the left-right paradigm is unsatisfactory for plotting out something as complex as an entire societies views. I use 8values to gauge that with most people I know, it has 4 axis which ends up with 8 sides, look it up and take the test for it. You might like that alot better.
It is indeed an oversimplification. Here in the Netherlands we rank them from left to right and from conservative to progressive. There is however a very clear correlation where left wing parties are more progressive the more left they are, and right wing parties are more conservative the more right they are. We have one party which can't be properly put on the left-right scale (the PVV) since their policies don't properly align with that spectrum, but most of their policies are right to far right.
So even though it's not perfect, it still provides an easy way to convey the general stance of a party without going into detail about every complex topic
@@ExarchGaming _"and the actual far right in the US are literal neo nazis, neo-confederates, or other fascist analogs. "_
Except Neo-Nazis and Fascists are on the Far-Left, hun ... just like the rest of the collectivist and socialist ideologues.
You should have mentioned, that 87% of Austrians approve of the Law that Gewessler has passed. She Voted for the people. Not for bureaucrats. And I think this shows strength.
It all depends on whether the ÖVP has learnt even the tiniest bit
spoiler: they didn't
they'll try to repeat what has happened twice before. first they're junior parter in a coalition with the fpö, then fpö is ripped up by scanadals and they're number one in the following election. knowing the stupidity of the austrian voters that's the most likely outcome.
If you can say one thing about us austrians with certainty: we don't learn.
@@Mexalen81 Very true, unfortunately. It's so depressing...
Well no, probably a coalition between ÖVP-SPÖ-NEOS as it looks like right now. Also it’s not exactly a miracle that the FPÖ is strong again because it came out that the „Ibiza Scandal“ wasn’t one at all. They just diddn't release all the video footage wich got partially leaked later on.

FPO - Fascists, got it. Any Russian apologia is disgusting.
sorry but if u knew anything about austrian politics, u would know that the coalition arguments have nothing to do with the elections, as after the elections there will be new talks anyways and the far right was on the rise much earlier than this, in fact its a much more structural problem. the question is more if the social democrats or the right-winged extremists will win. the conservatives won't win anyways, no one likes them atm except their die hard voters. greens are quite stable. in any case the election was gonna happen in sept anyways and the cards are always mixed anew after one. - additionally, the social democrats where center left at the time, not left wing. - another fpövp coalition is unlikely, ÖVP will not be the junior partner of the FPÖ - and it is not sure that fpö+övp will even have a majority.
You forget to mention that this law is highly popular among Austrians - over 80 % are in favor of this law
Exactly this - Gewessler supported a law that is supported by 82% of the Austrian popullation. Also, not only the federal state Vienna supported the law, but also carinthia.
the thing is that polls are just "do you support environment stuff". The average voter has 0 idea what this law means and what the consequences are.
So I live in austria and my dad told me about those signs of the FPÖ and we both agree that 1. the EU-is not madnesss, 2. Ditching the EU would probably be madness
Ah yes the dreaded "Far Right"...
Two small notes:
- Nehammer basically couldn't go for snap elections: Election law sets a rather long distance between parliamentary dissolution and election day; just this week there was the reference date for the scheduled election date (the date to which parties can apply to run, who will be eligible to vote etc.). Effectively, the scheduled election date is the best Nehammer could lawfully get as a snap election
- For the upcoming term, it is not to rule out that FPÖ and ÖVP combined will not get enough seats to form a majority government, especially as there are almost three months to go and a lot could happen (knowing Austrian politics), including small new parties entering the national council, causing the potential seat share of FPÖ and ÖVP to shrink due to d'Hondt method being applied. Even small shifts in voters preferences could be decisive as current surveys indicate the right majority to be small
Europe is in crisis.

I hope europe would accept their far right party to rule them@@ronmastrio2798
@@ronmastrio2798In what way?
I know normally people worry about the rise of the radical right for social reasons, and possibly economic reasons; but I think it's fair to argue that possible the most dangerous thing about them these days might be national security. It's clear that a lot of them are compromised by their ties to Russia; the Kremlin backs them up just as it did to the old communist parties in the Cold War (or should I say *first* Cold War, since we're evidently now in the second one). And unfortunately these new right parties are gaining a lot more traction than the old communist parties did west of the Iron Curtain.
I noticed that TLDR news, uses the term "far-right" very loosely and very often.
But not the term "far-left".
Why?
Even in this video you use the term far right many times but not far left.
because there are very few far left parties in Europe. Very few people on the left think you can have an out and out anarchist society tomorrow.
On the other hand, all the parties described as "far right" are very anti-democratic to say the least. They want to curtail basic rights like freedom of religion and expression, they want to extend the executive powers of the government greatly (I wonder why they want to do that) and they are deeply reactionary.
Does it really surprise you? I'm for ditching the left-right paradigm in general
Why? Because there are now ‘far left’ parties currently on the rise. A ‘far left’ party would be communist parties, none of which have any attraction in most of Europe.
Far-left is communism. Did you find any communist goverment in Europe?
@@napoleonfeanor its not exactly suprising or unusuwal.

How is it that you call "die Grünen" "pretty left wing" while the FPÖ is "far right", either both are "pretty far right/left" or "far right/left"
Because the greens are not far left. They aren't communists.
@@angadsingh9314 While the greens aren't communist, they still want extreme government intervention to solve their "problems", they place their goals above the freedom and rights of their population and are willing to sacrifice almost anything to accomplish them. And that's present anywhere the far left has something to say.
When some were doing bachelor during Covid, they were almost banned from attending uni courses. The left extreme ÖH/greens banned people from attending uni courses without 2G. Some people were super lucky to catch covid intime, they was running around with a self-made apps that looks like the official covid test page for months before that. Life is hell under a left extreme regime.
Why is the fpo far right? Explain their policy stances and compare to a moderate right party
directly from their party program:
they explicitly state that austria is in "language, culture and history german" - there are significant non german minorities in austria, some of which, like the slovenes in carinthia, lived there for hundreds of years, even before the germans came there (and the fpö has a history in carinthia of discriminating against that slovene minority, such as attempting to ban slovene village names, only allowing german names)
no other major political party in austria advocates for that, also not the more moderate right wing ÖVP
They are the only (major) party against same sex marriage (or any other similar legal equivalent)
for example the ÖVP is generally against same sex marriage, but favors an equivalent legal arrangement, which the fpö also is against
They are way more radical on immigration than the other parties, generally advocating for no immigration whatsoever in speeches (though the wording in their party program is more vague)
They want to completely lower all sanctions on russia and send no weapons at all, while for example the ÖVP generally supports sanctions on russia, but is not very enthusiastic about sending weapons to ukraine
then there's the numerous scandals with neonazis in the party over the years, like antisemitic stuff said (for example one was caught singing a song about wanting to continue the holocaust), or people being caught owning nazi uniforms or flags, some quoting directly from "mein kampf"
and their language increasingly mirroring that of the nazis, like speaking about "kulturkampf, Volkskanzler, etc"
all in all, the party can be described as quite a bit more radical with their nationalism than the ÖVP
@telcharthegreatsmithofthef7585 neat thank you writing an essay to explain a parties political party stances so I really do appreciate you taking your time of day for that
How are foreigners actually interested in Austrian politics?
Obviously a fair number of inaccuracies, most notably that ÖVP has ruled out to form a coalition with the FPÖ. Also that even if the FPÖ wins, the president can give the order for SPÖ and ÖVP to form a coalition. These two points make the last 2 minutes of the video mute
The only reason why the FPÖ (and other right-wing parties in europe) are so successfull currently is because people are fed up with immigration, especially from the middle east. Sorry, but that needs to be said. These parties can have as many scandals as possible, but as long as this immigration madness doesn't stop or the left wing parties finally adopt a anti-immigration stance, the shift to the right will inevitably happen.
It's really since that thing that happened with Kurz (a soft coup if u may) that I lost respect in Austrian politics. It's a shame but FPÖ rising to power almost seems like a natural consequence

At the time the Ibiza-video was taken, Strache was not vice chancelor yet. At the time it was published he was.
I love how everyone that is not a communist or socialist they are called right wing extremists
Who's called extremist in this video? ÖVP is right wing and FPÖ is far right.
lol look at the snowflakes melting in the sun. There is just one party in this video called far right.. it's the far right party if you didn't notice
the spö is not called "right wing extremists". but by your definition they should be. as social democrats they neither support communism nor socialism.
It's all a just theatre. ÖVP would never go against EVP. Gewessler did Nehammer's bidding, and Nehammer can now pretend that she went rogue. They obeyed EVP orders and cater to their fanbase. Greens for "standing up to the ÖVP" and ÖVP for condemning this act of "treason".
The ÖVP literally sued Gewessler in court over the matter.

What the hell do we even vote for? This is not a democracy anymore. The true scandal is that they just -pardon me- take a huge dump on what the people voted for and change it then.

@@unoriginal_username1He used to be right of centre, but he now looks left of centre because the centre has moved so far right. That's an argument against your own position.
It depends. The political compass has been proposed as both a proportional one but as a concrete one as well.
There are hard definitions of what qualifies as far left and far right and has nothing to do with their popularity but the extreme dedication to their beliefs and the nature of the means they use.
Honestly going proportionaly is completely useless bc in that way it doesn't help you to understand what the parties and politicians are standing for, meanwhile now by calling someone far right you get a pretty good idea of their agenda.
Edit: there is also the more populist approach where what is left/right and far left/far right is purely based on their placing in their respective parliament.
Good video and as an Austrian I wouldnt add much. If I did, that would be a huge video but I can whole heartedly recommend Jan Böhmermann‘s FPÖ pieces. Thanks for listening and caring about our small nation
well if you call a nationalist party far right then the ruling party are far left. you should call one side radical when saying nothing about the other side
Why? The ruling parties aren't communist.
As an Austrian Im not really happy with this video. A few important pieces you missed:
1. ÖVP has already rouled out a coalition with FPÖ under the current head Kickl (As with the Greens with Gewessler).
2. The law Gewessler supported wouldnt have been passed without Austria, so this decition has a huge impact on Europe.
3. Very important: A poll was published that 82% (!) of citizens are in faviour of this law.
So why does the Greens and SPO not team up? That kinda confuses me.
This would still be less than 50% of the seats.
No majority. That's basically a universal statement for Austria, because ÖVP and FPÖ have largely been playing ping pong with their votes for 20 years. So no matter how many scandals one has, there's never a clear formally left wing majority.
Not big enough
'Revival' from Bulgaria 🇧🇬 and AfD in Germany 🇩🇪 will create a new group in the EU parliament!!!
So glad you used the term ‘far right’ so I know who the good guys are.
Says the MAGAth.
Look how triggered you are. If they are on the right of Austria's spectrum and on the right within the right, they're far right. Same as in Germany "The Left" is far left despite their policies not being all that far left compared to even the SPD in the past. I mean, you can criticise the oversimplification of splitting parties into simply left or right, that's sth I dislike myself. But acting as if people mentioned it for some ulterior reason is silly
The term ‘far right’ is sometimes used too liberally, but this doesn’t mean that it never gets used correctly. In this case, they are far right and I would bet they would also describe themselves as such if given the opportunity to. You still have the right to support whatever party you want, but at least own up to it and don’t pretend that you’re a centrist when you are really voting for the far right.

Our desire to protect our culture should not be misconstrued as racism. For instance, in Viennese primary schools, 70% of the children do not speak German, and their parents often show reluctance to support their integration. Additionally, there are concerns about Ukrainian immigrants who, despite receiving benefits, seem to maintain a high standard of living, including driving luxury cars.
And the list goes on...

Conservatives are center-right usually. Everything next to them is right or even far-right depending on the policies.
Anything that they don't like - anything that is not far left.
dunno, I had to google it for about 0.5sec to find out: "Far-right politics, or right-wing extremism, is a spectrum of political thought that tends to be radically conservative, ultra-nationalist, and authoritarian, often also including nativist tendencies. The name derives from the left-right political spectrum, with the "far right" considered further from center than the standard political right. "
regular right: make politics for big businesses while curbing worker rights.
far-right: make politics for big businesses, while curbing worker rights, take part in conferences where they cheer the idea of deporting politicial opposition and anyone whose parents weren't born here. and also ministers trying to overcome their height deficit by riding on horseback.
@@seraphin01 _""Far-right politics, or right-wing extremism, is a spectrum of political thought that tends to be radically conservative, ultra-nationalist, and authoritarian, often also including nativist tendencies"_
Pretty much the complete opposite. Conservatism itself doesn't mean anything since the term is relative and depends what the country considers traditional. Being ultra-nationalist is a Leftist trait, since nationalism itself is a form of collectivism. Also authoritarianism is usually the hallmark of collectivism, hence the Left.
If we agree that the Far-Left is represented by socialist and collectivist ideologies, then logic dictates, that the Far-Right would be represented by pro-Capitalist ideologies based on (Classical) Liberalism / Libertarianism, anti-establishment and limited government.
You can only keep the lunacy up for so long, eventually you have to come back to reality and common sense
Just because you're far-wrong, doesn't mean everyone else is far-right.
It´s funny isn´t it, that cities like Vienna, Amsterdam, London, Barcelona are doing much better on most indicators than the places that vote FN or vote for Victor Orban in Hungary? Could it possibly be because they´re actually getting something right.
You can have open borders or a social system not both - Milton Friedman Austria is trying both, thats the reason why so many vote FPÖ.
