Herbert Kickl, leader of Austria's far-right Freedom Party, is set to meet with President Alexander Van der Bellen to discuss forming a coalition government with the conservative People’s Party, marking a potential historic shift in post-World War II Austrian politics. Following a significant electoral victory, Kickl's party won 57 seats in September, prompting a change in the conservative coalition stance as previous Chancellor Karl Nehammer resigned after failed negotiations. Despite Kickl's divisive reputation, his party's growing influence reflects shifting dynamics in Austrian governance amidst rising populism across Europe.
