💨 Abstract

Interim leader of Austria's conservative party, Christian Stocker, has agreed to enter coalition talks with the far-right, Russia-friendly Freedom Party (FPO). Stocker demanded assurances that the FPO wants to keep Austria free from Russian interference and prioritized a stronger EU and independent media, while the FPO wants to overhaul media subsidies and scrap the levy that funds state broadcaster ORF.
