Summary

Updated 2026-06-26

Herbert Kickl is an Austrian politician who has been leader of the far-right Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) since June 2021. He previously served as minister of the interior from 2017 to 2019 and general-secretary of the FPÖ from 2005 to 2018. In the 2024 Austrian legislative election, the FPÖ became Austria's strongest party for the first time in history. Kickl negotiated with the Austrian People's Party in early 2025 but was unable to form a government. He is the leader of the opposition in the National Council. Kickl advocates a Fortress Austria and remigration. Some political analysts believe he has radicalized his party.
