Herbert Kickl, leader of Austria's Freedom Party (FPÖ), is positioning himself to become the country's next Chancellor, despite the challenging economic landscape.

Following a historic win in the national elections, Kickl has assembled a seasoned negotiation team to navigate coalition talks.

However, questions remain about how the FPÖ plans to address Austria's economic difficulties, as both the FPÖ and its potential coalition partner, the ÖVP, lack clear strategies to tackle the budget deficit.

Kickl's promise of "five good years" may face hurdles, with economic constraints likely leading to tough decisions.

The FPÖ's negotiation team, composed of trusted allies, is prepared to engage in discussions, but the path to a blue-led government remains uncertain.
