# Herbert Kickl Concludes ORF Sommergespräche Series

September 8, 2026 at 11:55 AM

> FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl addressed the ORF levy, Identitarians, and headscarf bans during his appearance on the final summer interview.

**FPÖ** Chairman **Herbert Kickl** appeared as the final guest on the **ORF** Sommergespräche series hosted by Simone Stribl this Monday. Kickl follows previous appearances by Leonore Gewessler, Beate Meinl-Reisinger, Andreas Babler, and ÖVP Chairman Christian Stocker.

During the interview, Kickl addressed the ORF household levy, labeling it a compulsory tax and announcing a referendum. He also defended the Identitarians as a right-wing NGO worth supporting, while the FPÖ currently leads the APA election trend at 39 percent.

The discussion coincided with a new headscarf ban for girls under 14 in schools. While Stocker calls for a ban on political Islam, the FPÖ advocates extending the headscarf ban to all students, following Kickl's high-rated appearance from the previous year.
