"Good News for Modern Man"
Wonderful presentation.
Retired on Social Security, I unfortunately cannot afford Locals.
Austria should leave the EU and be neutral.
Yes. It should. I voted against joining back then because of exactly the same problems that we have now. Back then role model was Switzerland.
One thing I haven't heard anyone talk about (apart from Dr. Steve Turley) is that George Soros (who had been funding all these globalists) has had to close down all operations in Europe with a loss of 40% of his global workforce. Never again will these people get the funding and backing that they've received for the last 40+ years.
Coming from Greece they should know what happens. After loading these countries up with foreign debt ( Euro denominated) as they can no longer issue their own currencies. The ECB just outright refuses to buy the bonds. They leave them at the mercy of the bond vigilantes.
They all come to heel and do what Brussels says. Thus,to be truly free and independent and be sovereign again it is imperative they leave the EU.Then the US will step in and threaten them.
= No change.
They can't as long as globalists control government and the regulations created by it.
Any mechanism to allow departure has, is, or will be disabled. 😢
It's too late to save EU or europe in general. It's fall has been planned for decades, we are just witnessing the end game atm and scratching our heads wondering why everything looks so illogical and suicidal.
A great counter to the utter drivel in British newspapers.
100%.
Indeed,
The British Government propaganda news!
British news papers are so bad tho
It's no bad analysis, but it left some main points ! Eg. "Ibiza-affair", or that Freedom Party some years ago was against Neutrality and pro NATO, that there are again and again Party members showing clear "affinity" to Hitler, that Freedom Party made in a coalition with People's Party the candidate of this Party to chancellor although they were only third place at elections,... It's a populistic and opportunistic Party which cannot be trusted.
As a Swedish person, moving to Austria, to get away from clan-run communities/police/etc it is SO refreshing to see Austrian people - wide awake to what is happening - and acting on it - because, here you are not afraid to be called a racist when you vote for the FPÖ. Which was/IS the case in Sweden. In Sweden, the exact same thing happened, same type of problems and Sweden Democrats won, but did not get to rule - by foul play by the "old" "peoples party/Socialdemokraterna and their sidekicks. Truly horrendous that the peoples will/votes are not even respected!! Not only in France, Sweden and Austria - there will be a proper uprise if the political scene does not adhere according to the Voted results. Regardless of what is being voted about. The politicians are not respected when they play these globalist games. People are VERY tired of this nonsense.
Hopefully the results are sobering and that communications and collaborations for a renewed take on energy and trade with Russia and by all means Asia will flourish in a short while, leaving the sunken Nato ship behind. That is my wish.
Thank you for your interesting review of Austrian politics. Much appreciated.
I recommend Feldbach in the Steiermark, just east of Graz. Lovely town- haven’t been there since the 70s, but looking at GoogleEarth, the town seems relatively unchanged.
The established parties always try to form a cordon sanitaire to keep the upstarts and 'extreme right' (their label of course) out. Which usually results in these new parties either splintering due to infighting, or......, growing so large, because the established parties keep on f***ing up ever more, that they can no longer be ignored.
I feel like it's too little to late mate, but good luck.
Child, you got zero clue of the problem of th world and your country if you think that some absolute unimportant clans got anything to do with it.
The people who TELL you that those are the problem, those are...
I had a big relevant response made to your comment, but YT deleted it.
All the former Crownlands of Austria Hungary now vote more or less anti globalist... Austria, Hungary, Czechia, Slovakia, Slovenia...
Well Slovenia is deep in EUs "behind"😉, now very globalistic, so, we all know who rules the EU... the EU says "jump", Slovenia says "how high"...
What matters is not who wins the elections, but who puts together the coalition of the losers...
So well said
Neo-democracy.
Epitome of Canada. Soon they will fall hard to reality
Right, but in Austria actually Freedom Party started with this:
When Social Democrats won the election about 20 years ago, Freedom Party second and People's Party third - Freedom Party made coalition with People's Party and voted People's Party's candidate to Chancellor ! That was a shock for Austria at that time and showed clearly that Freedom Party cannot be trusted
@@eddastrohmayer251 that's like the RN in France supporting a prime minister working for Brussels..
Congrats Austria. Preserve your Neutrality
Neutrality? Nato tanks rolling through it. That's long gone...
@@michelsascha We are neutral as long as we do not interfere or take part militarily in a war. Austrian people and all parties except NEOS stand to Neutrality!
FPÖ is a necon party, child. They are the very core of the problem.
@@eddastrohmayer251 WRONG - all parties exept fpö and partially spö wanted to cancel neutrality offical and join nato not long time ago.
Was it Mark Twain who said "if voting made any difference, they wouldn't let you do it"? Boy, was he prescient!
Yes he did, he also said "I have Never let Schooling interfere with my child's Education" Both of these quotes are more relevant than ever before!
Ol Mark Twain had it together
Emma Goldman said something similar: "If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal."
The real division is between those who kiss the hem of American hegemony and those who don’t. Those who don’t, reflect the feelings of their electorate.
Us Americans don't care for NATO either. We all want to become sovereign again.
We🇺🇸 inturn are captured by certain people, think banks.
@@Ariel-q7n Central manipulators!
😂 Kissing the hem of Grmny. And France.
there is no "America", pls recall the video host saying "Globalist" *& EU as if that was different)
Well done, Austria.!! Sending love from Ireland. We all need to defeat the globalists if we value our freedom.
The people of Austria have not forgotten the position of this party during the corona dictatorship and practically mandatory "vaccination".
I’d like to point out that is quintessentially within the Pan Anglo societies that some people believe in the covid conspiracies. You won’t find your kind of paranoia outside the anglo-sphere (50% of the “collective west”). To the global south, or what Mercouris has more aptly termed “the global majority” you come across as delusional regarding that issue, disconnected from reality, as you do regarding Russia, Ukraine, Israel, China, etc.
I agree Europe is too restrictive in many cases but being against protective measures during a pandemic is pretty ret@rded
Well done Austria ❤
Hungary, Slovakia, now Austria...Von Der Liar and Stoltenberg must be having nightmares, those warmongers.
In Czech Republic local elections(cities)took place, the establishment parties lost. I don't remember exactly the winer name, something like Ano, Babisch's movement party has won. I think they also want to stop arm Ukraine etc.
Indeed, also the fact that the very corrupt IMF are trying to be part of BRICS.
Neo-Austria-Hungary rising...
Indeed, and the fact that the very corrupt IMF are looking to join BRICS.
Sweden and Finland need to vote to exit NATO and return to NEUTRAL
The EU --- a trade bloc turned into a military bloc
Eventually the Muslim hordes Imported will take over countries and they will not want to be controlled by the globalists. So eventually they will destroy themselves, unfortunately they will take us with them.
At this point you gotta think that was always the plan
As an Austrian who follows politics very closely, let me make a couple of points: It's not gonna be as simple to form a "coalition of the losers" as one might think. First, the Peoples Party and the Social Democrats only have a very narrow majority in parliament together so they would problably need a third party to govern effectively - making things even more complicated for them. Secondly, the Freedom Party already indicated that if they came in first and were not represented in government, people will go on the streets. I am not saying there is going to be a coup or anything but things in Vienna (where I live) could get rather uncomfortable especially for a loser coalition.
There will come a coalition of ÖVP, SPÖ and NEOS.
And just remember time when FPÖ made Schüssel to chancellor when ÖVP only got third place - actually FPÖ were the first who betrayed the people and did not follow people's vote!
Who cares, which of your corrupt right wing parties you elected into power in the end. The fact that you do is the main problem and the laugh their asses off about how stupid you are to fall for all their cheap little tricks and distractions.
There was a similar situation around 2000, when the Social Democrats were first but did not partake in the government, which was formed by the Freedom and People's Parties who were second and third. People went to the streets and demostrated back then but it didn't matter.
hoping things will emerge to the best for Austrians and other European nations
@@manmanman2000 FPÖ and ÖVP were at the same place, there was no third place. and yes it did happen, and the parliament and the media with help from foreign forces killed the coalition and then sued alll participants, ie because of eurofighter as you might remember, and now the first adminstrator of the justice departement who oversaw the legal case, brought by parliamental opposition was found dead! After he was dragged again through the mud, by you guess meinl reisinger and her media PR.
Great news all over Europe!
What a surprise. YT has stopped giving me notations on new videos for The Duran, Alexander and Alex. Shadow banning. But we can all still watch them.
I have seen many of my comments with responses in low single digits and no likes even if being among the first comments. Shadow banning rules YT.
Seven out of ten of my comments are banned by YT and I rarely see any likes on them, because they are put to the bottom of the feed.
@@angiebaby9981 Same! Started in earnest when I mentioned the forming in 1967 of a certain group in Palestine by the Moss crowd and that it wasn't the first time the you know who had been caught dressing up as Arabs... so transparent! Lol
same with me freedom EH !
Alexander Mercouris explains well how the winners don't win. The runner-up and third place parties form a coalition to manage the country. But will this hold forever? Not much democracy in Europe.
Keep the winners out and the losers will suffer an even bigger loss come the next election. Until eventually they end up becoming the minority. As happened in the Netherlands. But the damage done to our countries, economies and culture may be irreversible by that time. It may even be that the millions of immigrants imported by that time will vote establishment due to freebees and handouts given to them, forever changing the voting landscape. Probably what the establishment is aiming for.
Nonsense, 30% are no majority and can't dictate anything. If the bigger minority just rules that would be despotism, nothing else.
Overall it's only democracy when you follow the needs of ALL 100% and that without going against human rights on the WHOLE planet.
Only that is democratic.
Great analysis as usual by Mr. Mercouris. Voice from inside Austria: The REMARKABLE succes of FPÖ ist mainly due to two reasons: First: ÖVP, SPÖ, Grüne implemented a mandatory corona vaccination. Only the FPÖ was against it. Second: The Austrians had best experiences with its neutrality. Only FPÖ (and KPÖ) made a clear commitment to neutrality.
there is no way Austria can feeload its security anymore
ALL Austrian parties except NEOS are pro Neutrality!
And just to remember you that FPÖ the time when they made third ranked Schüssel to chancellor were against Neutrality and pro NATOmembership - You can never know what opportunistic FPÖ does next!
As an American, I appreciate your assessment Irene. Thank you. 🧨
@@HK-zf7op yes, we can. or let´s say after the eurofighter debakel by the opposition, even more.
Interpreting political events as part of the endless attempt to justify the anti-vaccine cult is funny. It just loops and loops.
Good for Freedom Party. Good Globalists are triggered. Next, hold Globalists accountable! 😅
Yesssss....Europe free of globalists / WEF
❤😊THE DURAN ARE SIMPLY THE BEST.
Innsbruck ..one of my favourite places ... well done Austria
I am a Brit and i love Innsbruck too.
Civilisational populism. The Austrians want to conserve and uphold their culture, values and visions for the future. They've had enough of the Globalists and their migrants because they now finally see the hypocrisy and idiocy of the EU Globalists' plans. Finally, more and more Austrians can see how bleak the future is under this EU model.
Lot of PR words which completely miss the problems.
FPÖ is a neocon party and with that a part of the very core of the problem.
I would love to go to Austria.
hoping a big political change will finally come
@@Pear-zo4em austria is yet neutral and not a nato member.
At some point all this seemingly hopeless desire for change will convert to the change most seek. The narrative can be controlled for a time, but hearts and minds can never be controlled. The will of the people will ultimately prevail.
Thank you Alexander & Alex for your analysis, your opinion is always appreciated. Good Day 🇦🇺
Immer wieder Österreich - für immet und ewig!💙🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹
Freedom v Tyranny.
Heartfelt thanks to the Duran for your selfless service in bringing us accurate, impartial information
Alexander, thank you VERY much for providing the historical background right up front!!!! Gratitude.
I am happy to see that some people are beginning to wake up.
You are absolutely right.
Increasingly everywhere, Portugal included.
The people won’t put up with it, they will soon give an absolute majority to these parties .
Thank you, gentlemen ❤You are the best
Good news! Well done Austria ❤Thankyou Gentlemen
Very succinct and intelligent summation of the political state of Europe at the end there. Democracy is of course a Greek word. It requires rule by the will of the people as a basic principle. The only way that we have (short of revolution) to express that will has been taken from us. We have "elections" but the chances of getting your voice heard or at least your preferred candidate elected are vanishingly small.
Greetings from Austria!
Thanks to you both. Europe is becoming politically moribund, left wing and right wing are meaningless terms. What we are seeing with the rise of the Freedom party and similar groupings, is a struggle to preserve European civilisation.
You mean white supremacist civilization right
Agreed, I like the term suverains vs globalists. One could also call it decentralisation vs centralisation of power. Globalism undermines the national identity of countries by design. I'm Dutch, not German, and Germans aren't French, who aren't Spanish. I like all those different national identities. And yes through time those identities change, but changing it at the pace that the globalist want is already causing problems. For instance, Holland has quite a large indonesian influence in its people, language and culture. That is not a problem because we have built that in centuries of interactions through colonisation. They are a valued part of Dutch culture. And we also use indonesian words in the Dutch language. What's happening now in the elections, is that the people of a certain culture feel the need to defend their own culture because it's not done in a natural way. And has nothing to with white supremacy. It's very understandable.
@@robertaugustijn1157 Thanks for that detailed response, absolutely agree - just wrote a long reply that vanished! Sovereignty (English spellings!) vs Globalism. That is why the rights of newly arrived minorities in Europe now appear to have superseded the rights of the majority.
it is more about peace. left and right are simple politcial terms. left are neoliberal, right are conservative.
FESTUNG Österreich!!! Gruss aus Ungarn
34% for Starter - massive majority. 34% for Le Pen.....3rd place, excluded from government and lawfared !
Eeee...Podolyak. What are they saying? No monies from Austria?
You very nicely covered the political history of Austria, Alexander! Kreisky was a light figure bringing prosperity, continuity and significance to 'Austria. He supported as a Jew the Pelestines - was a friend of Arafat - and brought as a neutral country the third afiliate of UNO to Vienna. I voted my whole life the social democrates. For the first time voted FPÖ, because they stand for peace, neutrality, democracy and truth.
But he didnt even mention the sanctions against Austria in the early 2000s because of right Gouvernement.
I agree with you concerning Kreisky. But sorry, Freedom Party cannot be trusted- during coalition with People's party they were against Neutrality, they even deleted Neutrality from Austria's Security Doctrine and replaced it with the aim to join NATO. This changed again in 2011 during Social democrat/People's Party coalition, when NATO was deleted and Neutrality again became core of Austria's foreign politics. Freedom Party are unfortunately only opportunists.
And remember, they even made Schüssel to chancellor, when People's Party lost election and were third place. Not to speak about Ibiza etc.
mutig. die richtung stimmt. lg
The voice of the people is crushed around the world, USA, Canada, Europe ..............
Where is the "Rules Based International Order" written down? I would like to read it and see what it says.
I distrust anyone talking about the Rules instead of laws.
Wallstreet,,you will find the rules there...rule number one...We rule ...you pay ...
@@robertaugustijn1157 and who will enforce this laws? :)
Verbal agreement between the un-elected that says - do as we say not as we do.
It is, ‘who makes the rules’, that is the problem!
Let the austrians decide for themselves.
❤😊MAKE PEACE NOT WAR.
It seems to me that the gentlemen thought that people in Europe have a similar mentality as in the USA. That their native countries mean literally nothing to them, except that they were born there and come once in their life, because in America they constantly move across the entire continent for work. It is set up so that people are not tied to their hometown. So we all live as if the whole planet is one big multinational city. If people wanted that, that would be fine. However, people do not want that and what the globalists are doing is wrong. Let them inhabit their villas, castles and estates. A few thousand of them have as much money as all the workers of the world combined.
It’s worse that that. Only five people have as much as half of the entire population’s wealth combined.
True - they think we're stupid. Europe is changing because people remember fascism, and see it happening again.
Even in America the majority does not travel across the entire continent. Most Americans don't even have a passport, so their POV is very inward America first looking. It is only the laptop classes in the big cities that have a globalist outlook. Also, even if you travel from Clownifornia to Texas to Vermont to Tennessee, it is still the same country. The EU is not a country, not even everybody of the EU laptop class sees the EU as a country.
a very fine summary of the situation. greetings from vienna
Alright Alexander let’s talk about The!!!!!!!👍
It's better to be far right than far wrong.
Thanks a lot The Duran! 🥰
"All right Alexander...": what I think seeing The Duran thumbnail pop up
So much for EU lecturing other countries about freedom and democracy
However, the western democracy is flawed. It is not the majority that has the say but the minority instead.
Another brilliant analysis.
You can't vote your way out of tyranny.
As an Austrian, I can only say, very good analysis. Could add a few more details, but as an overview and in a European, Western context - very well done. Thank you.
Austrian here. Well analyzed, thank you! As you say, migration, neutrality (in regard to the war in Ukraine) and taxes/economy/costs of living were the big issues in recent months. And finally, it was the mandatory vaccination scheme of the regime that alienated many people - and which was eventually defeated after repeated mass protests. BTW: Housing was the central issue in Salzburg, which the commies capitalized on.
And finally: A huge shoutout to our friends in Hungary, Slovakia, Italy and the Netherlands (more to come)!
Yes, more and more Europeans are seeing the light.. Maybe there is still hope
Too little too late sadly. The establishment is well entrenched, has big business, the media and the EU on its side, and the current immigration wave and rise of BRICS will probably destroy Europe in a decade. It will take more time then that to defeat the establishment and turn things around.
@@ChaptermasterPedroKantor-kv5yw
BRICS is a meme, and you are hyperbolic
The Germanic people should unite.

'Republics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms.' ARISTOTLE !
This is excellent news, hopefully they can form a government and remove the troublesome and destructive elements that has been creeping into Europe since the end of WW2.
What a democracy if the coalition of the losers will reign 😂 what an absurd concept and outcome. This will not end well.
It does and can happen, as long as they hold a majority of seats. Hard to imagine to Americans or Brits, where 1 party will get a majority of the seats, but in countries without 1st past the post this is not that uncommon. It usually sorts itself out when the losers lose even more come the next election to the point that they lose their majority.
Welcome home guys.☘️🇮🇪
Good Morning Gentlemen...Thanx for todays informative video...Great as always.
Australian Press make it sound like the second coming of the NSDAP.
Peace.
Australian?? I think you mean Austrian 🤷🏻♂️
Just like in most of the westernized countries,the MSM is not in the people’s corner!
Right
The same here in Germany with the AfD to make the people fear them. Unfortunately it takes time, before the people see through this. But one day (I hope, not so long to go) this "weapon" will not work any longer.
seems you are on the wrong Australia news channel you should change to Sky News Australia !
Alex: I am really enjoying your current format reporting from Dubai. I was hoping you'd do a segment from the observation deck of the Burj Khalifa...the backdrop would be just spectacular. May I suggest one episode from Sanya, the Chinese resort town and surfers' paradise on Hainan Island where the restaurant menus are written in Chinese, English, and Russian. Or perhaps video one of your commentaries from atop the Shanghai Tower, the world's third tallest building(actually there's some controversy that it's actually the world's second because if actual occupied floors were taken into account it is far taller than the Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur which claimed its height via unoccupied spires and antennae. Much success with your highly informative commentary. ❤Diane, Vancouver, Canada. TuOC01/24 02:03 am

I am from Austria. Watching your chanel since 3 years. I had a membrship from SPÖ 48 years. Never ever i taught would vote FPÖ. Since Covid i am very awake. I qitted after 48 years because of all the desicions made all parties excapt FPÖ about the injection by law. How they called us because we refused.Only 2 countries in the world they went so far. Ministers told us on TV we are not citizen from Austria - we are not allowed to live in Austria. If we still refuse we must pay a lot of fines. Dr. Rendi-Wagner leader from SPÖ was in opposition like Kickl and FPÖ. But she was one of the worst. Now she got a very good job in the EU. They are lying and liying. I am fad up with our so called democratie and EU. ÖXIT and change of the whole system. No more parties. No more pressure. Power to the people. They called us mob. Treated us like idiots. I stopped watching these marionettes on the TV. All the same script and text. From antivaxx in one day we all changed to Putin-followers. Of course of rumble and telegram. I am happy because of internet you can find out the truth or my bubble. Maybe. But I found thousands and thousands who are the same. I am not allone. Thanks to Alex and many many more. Hoping for Trump and USA on 4th November it will be peacefully. No need of military on the streets. And the globalist and marionettes whole over the world will be in the courtrooms and if guilty to jail. We had to suffer so much.
.
Great comment. Only the US election is on November 5th, 2024 (NOT 4th)
Good to see that the Europeans are demonstrating their displeasure and in a sense growing a spine to reject (hopefully) the warmongering and subservient ways of the current crop of politicians.
❤😊WE ARE LIVING IN DANGEROUS TIMES. TAKE CARE.
Thank you, guys, welcome home!
Great! Also talk some day with Thierry Baudet, MP in the Netherlands!
Thank you gentlemen
Short but to the point!
Any party could win in any country in Europe with a manifesto like theirs! 👍😊
Great backstory on Austria. Thank you Alexander.
Perfect summation!
They will never let a party against immigration take full control. That is what is so wrong with proportional representation voting.
(((They)))
At least it is democratic.
@@francoisehembert3243 Democratic? How so when the leading party is squeezed out of the government and the losers take over?
@@gergster6899 In a "winner takes all" system (like in the US) only the party with the most votes is the winner while the votes for the lising party are discarded. The winning party then sets up its administration for the next 4 years filling the posts with people of its own party (of course). This principle also applies for the state legislations (every 6 years) of the 50 states. In some states the majority party is Republican and other states it is the Democrats. In other words, if you happened to vote for the losing party, you vote does not count at all and your voice is not represented.
In the english first past the post system ,the winners are the the ones with the most seats. The PR system in Europe is being used against the the legitimate winners.
As an Austrian I have more fear of getting a migrant/islamic party very soon, than a left radical party. And as soon as this happens, the SPÖ will be history. Currently they hold the big cities where the most immigrants of 2nd generation are and they vote for SPÖ very often -- until a better party appears...
Excellent The Duran. As always.
As a bavarian, who is more close to austrias culture, mindset and political situation I appreciate the correct wrap up resp. summary of austrian history which Alexander has given here. I also appreciate his efforts to pronounce german names correctly. Only thing I would ad is the fight FPÖ has done during corona time against repression forced vaccination
very insightful observation indeed, thanks guys
Europe situation very well described. Thank you gentlemen
Hurray hurray go on go on
Good morning gentlemen. Another analysis of the continued corruption.
