FPÖ federal party chairman Herbert Kickl joined Styrian governor Mario Kunasek at the Hartberg Oktoberfest on Sunday for a morning pint event. Approximately 3,500 guests gathered in the festival tent to hear speeches and music by Pagger Buam and the John Otti Band.
Kickl labeled the upcoming National Council election a fateful moment, advocating for remigration and a Fortress Austria. He stated his goal is to make Austria Europe's most unattractive asylum location while criticizing federal energy prices and relief measures.
Governor Kunasek warned attendees about the dangers of political Islam while praising current cooperation with the ÖVP at the state level. The event concluded with the singing of the Styrian state anthem and the Austrian federal anthem before the large crowd.
