2. SOUNDBITE (German) Karl Nehammer, Austrian Chancellor:
"The task for us is to take a close look now for the future. To see why radicalised people get more votes than those of us who represent the power of the middle. What do we still have to do? What is our mission as a people’s party and the power of the centre? Taking a stand, solving problems and not living off them is not a party slogan. That is identity. But it is important to convince people of this even more. That must be our claim. Let’s face up to it."

4. SOUNDBITE (German) Karl Nehammer, Austrian Chancellor:
"I can’t take away the disappointment, but what I want to give you is the confidence that it is right to stand up for your values, to fight, to convince. What matters now is that we continue to stand by exactly what we promised before the election also applies after the election. That is attitude."

"And if someone had told us, on election night, the People’s Party, as it is now predicted, has taken 26% plus to the 27 right now, I would have taken it straight away and I would have believed it was number one."

STORYLINE:
Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer reacted on Sunday after a projection showed that the far-right Freedom Party was leading in the country’s election.
"I can’t take away the disappointment, but what I want to give you is the confidence that it is right to stand up for your values, to fight, to convince," Nehammer said.
Austria’s far-right Freedom Party was headed for its first win in a national parliamentary election on Sunday, finishing ahead of the governing conservatives after tapping into voters’ anxieties about immigration, inflation, Ukraine and other concerns, a projection showed. But its chances of governing were unclear.
A projection for ORF public television, based on counting of more than half the votes, put support for the Freedom Party at 29.2% and Chancellor Karl Nehammer’s Austrian People’s Party at 26.3%. The centre-left Social Democrats were in third place with 20.5%.
Herbert Kickl, a former interior minister and longtime campaign strategist who has led the Freedom Party since 2021, wants to become Austria’s new chancellor on the back of the first far-right national election win in post-World War II Austria.
