Elections over the last weekend of September.
The winners on this historic day were, however, the FPÖ (Freedom Party) and BZÖ (Haider’s “new” party), which together make up the right-wing parties. Heinz-Christian Strache was able to increase the number of his voters from 11% to 18%, while Haider tripled his support to 11%. And while the center-left parties pretended to be stunned, political commentators and many others were not surprised: the parties’ success had been looming for the last couple of weeks. Polls were in complete agreement about the outcome. Together FPÖ and BZÖ gathered nearly 30% of the votes.
In general, these parties are anti-Brussels (EU), and anti-unlimited-immigration.
This election will not necessarily change the course of Austria, as some coalition must be established with a Left-ish party (some Socialist outfit.)
Naturally, the rightists are called "Nazis" without equivocation.
Interesting sign...
