ORF: FPÖ is holding a referendum in September

The Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ), led by Herbert Kickl, announced plans to submit a referendum against the public broadcaster ORF in September. The proposed referendum aims to demand 'clean information,' an 'Austrian program,' and the abolition of mandatory fees. Kickl stated that the FPÖ would resume its historical tradition of challenging issues within public broadcasting. He did not specify a target number of supporters but emphasized that more support would be better. In previous years, similar initiatives were launched, including one in early 2025 by Robert Marschall, which collected over 119,000 signatures.
