💨 Abstract

In Austria's general election, the far-right Freedom Party (FPO) secured a first-ever victory, according to preliminary results, with 28.8% of the vote. The ruling conservative Austrian People's Party (OVP) followed closely behind with 26.3%. The FPO, led by Herbert Kickl, ran on an anti-immigration platform and has been criticized for its ties to Russia and Nazi sympathies.
