💨 Abstract

In a close race, Austrians elect a new parliament on Sunday, with the ruling conservatives and far-right Freedom Party (FPO) in a neck-and-neck competition. Economic concerns and immigration have dominated the election, with FPO leader Herbert Kickl being portrayed as a toxic menace by Chancellor Karl Nehammer. If the FPO wins, it would be the latest European Union country to see surging far-right support.
