Following Austria’s September election, President Alexander Van der Bellen mandated Freedom Party leader Herbert Kickl to form a new government, marking a potential first far-right government since WWII. This decision followed failed attempts to form a coalition without the Freedom Party, which won 28.8% of the vote. Coalition talks between the Freedom Party and the People’s Party are underway, though their success is uncertain, and a new election is a possibility. The Freedom Party’s platform includes anti-immigration policies, opposition to sanctions against Russia, and a push for greater Austrian autonomy from the EU.
Donald Trump’s return to power on January 20th necessitates continued robust news coverage. HuffPost remains committed to providing fearless reporting on the new administration. However, maintaining this free and accessible news source requires reader support. Contributions, even in the form of creating a free account, are crucial to ensuring vital information remains available to all.
