BOLZANO. The victory of the far-right FPö in the general elections in Austria has sparked numerous reactions in South Tyrol. The president of the Province Arno Kompatscher he believes the result reflects “many people’s desire for change, but also the growing fragmentation of society.” “Many people are looking for guidance and cohesion, but at the same time opinions and priorities diverge significantly. I am confident that Austria will continue to be a reliable partner for South Tyrol,” he concludes.
Obviously the South Tyrolean Freiheitlichen, the sister party of the FPö, applaud. “The result of the elections marks a milestone on the road to political change in Europe. The Austrians have now also sent a clear signal. The clear electoral victory of the Freiheitlichen shows that the Austrians are ready to continue the path with Chancellor Kickl, to face finally the urgent challenges, instead of postponing them further”, says the president of the South Tyrolean Freiheitlichen Roland Stauder.
Also satisfied South Tyrolean freedom: “The political path has been set and we look forward to working closely with the new Parliament. Together we can achieve significant progress for South Tyrol.” “Congratulations on the great victory. The result shows that the people want real change. And a real people’s chancellor,” he writes on Facebook Jürgen Wirth-Anderlan.
“In Austria, as in other European countries, the tactic of fomenting fear against those who are different proves successful for extremist parties, who are not afraid to incite citizens with populist slogans that recall the darkest times in European history” , he says Elide Mussnerco-spokesperson for the Greens.
