The Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office is seeking to investigate FPÖ leader for suspected incitement to hatred following a May 1, 2026, speech. During the event at Linzer Urfahranermarkt, Kickl labeled LGBTIQ+ school programs a mental plague.
The 's Immunity Committee met Wednesday to discuss extradition requests for Kickl and MP . The committee declined both, citing political context for Kickl and racist Facebook comment moderation issues for Schwaighofer.
While the National Council votes Thursday, the committee did approve lifting immunity for SPÖ MP . The Ebreichsdorf mayor requested the move himself to address allegations of accepting advantages regarding local land rezoning developments.
