Recent remarks by FPÖ politicians Harald Stefan and Markus Tschank have caused a stir in Austria.
During a party meeting, the two criticized their coalition partner ÖVP, calling it "in a miserable state," and suggested Austria should consider leaving the EU.
The ÖVP responded with dismay, emphasizing the need for a pro-European government program.
The comments, secretly recorded by French journalists, also included controversial statements about Afghan refugees, with Stefan describing them as "the last rabble.
" The FPÖ defended the remarks as exaggerated and taken out of context, while opposition parties demanded clarity from FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl.
Amid the controversy, the FPÖ announced plans to launch its own radio channel, expanding its media presence.
The party aims to strengthen its communication strategy, despite criticism from other political factions.
