AI Summary:
Attempts to form a government without the far-right Freedom Party collapsed in recent days. The Freedom Party was founded in 1956 by former Nazis. It has led provincial governments and served as a junior partner in national governments. In September's legislative elections, the party won 28.8% of the vote. Nehammer said he would resign after a sharp-tongued provocateur called in Kickl. The 56-year-old is known for overstepping accepted boundaries and shocking the political establishment. Kickl was interior minister from 2017 to 2019 when the Freedom Party was junior partner in a coalition government under conservative then-Chancellor Sebastian Kurz. Alon Ischay of the Austrian Union of Jewish Students said the turn to Kickl was “important” and expressed concerns about how the Freedom Party leader has used the term “Volkskanzler”. Kickl has rejected the comparison.
