Summary
Austria’s President Alexander Van der Bellen has tasked Herbert Kickl, leader of the far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ), with forming a new government after the collapse of coalition talks among centrist parties.
The FPÖ won 28.8% in the September election, surpassing the conservative Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP).
Initially excluded, Kickl is now engaging in coalition talks with the ÖVP, reflecting a shift in political dynamics.
This has drawn parallels to Germany, where far-right AfD leaders predict similar political breakthroughs despite current resistance from mainstream parties.

My grandad who fought in WW2 used to say to me “Remember, you don’t speak to Nazis, you shoot Nazis”.
Translating into modern times, Nazi scum should be in prisons, not in government.
This is completely insane, btw. An actual radical far-right will be forming the government in Austria.

Isn’t it amazing how the human race is exactly smart enough for a minority of them to see that a perfect world would be within reach if we were all just slightly kinder? What are the odds
It’s embarrassing how often I confuse Austria for Australia when reading these articles…

A centrist and a leftist are on social media. Who do they hate the most?

Sucks for… Well, almost everyone else in Europe but at least Syrian refugees will be able to go home before the nonsense starts in earnest I guess.
