7. SOUNDBITE (German) Peter Hajek, political scientist:
“What is currently new about this situation is that the Freedom Party, a right-wing populist grouping, now has the opportunity for the first time to provide the Federal Chancellor in Austria, provided that these negotiations, these new negotiations with the Christian Democrats, have a positive outcome.”

10. SOUNDBITE (German) Peter Hajek, political scientist:
“That is covered by the constitution. This is actually a very, very normal process. Of course, what is perhaps new for Austria and in this case also from a European perspective is that it is Herbert Kickl who can become Federal Chancellor.”

“There’s no question that with Kickl as Federal Chancellor there will of course also be a slight shift in power within the European Union.”

16. SOUNDBITE (German) Peter Hajek, political scientist:
“It’s always difficult to say with Herbert Kickl because he’s really unpredictable. He has always pulled out new tricks. I would say he needs a symbolic beacon, a symbolic image. That will certainly be in the migration and integration issue. But he also needs to signalize that he is something of a reformer. In other words, he must at least set a course that the previous government did not.”

18. SOUNDBITE (German) Peter Hajek, political scientist:
“The credibility of the ÖVP is gone, of course, but the credibility of the ÖVP has been tarnished for a very long time, it has to be said. So in this respect, the ÖVP is acting according to the saying ‘Once your reputation is ruined, it doesn’t matter what you do’ and we will see how much self-respect the party still has, even in these coalition negotiations.”

STORYLINE:
A "shift in power" within the European Union is inevitable if Austrian far-right leader Herbert Kickl forms government, according to a political analyst.
If Kickl succeeds, his government would be the first headed by the far right since World War II in Austria.
