    I’m currently searching/looking, maybe my ad Blocker is causing it, but is there an actual article or really just that pretty empty paragraph?

    I’m all against fucking Kickl, but I don’t see any information of value on that site.
    Did I miss something?

    Edit: although, I must admit the picture is absolutely gold ;⁠-⁠)

      HOW CONCERNED should Europe be at the rise of Herbert Kickl, the leader of Austria’s hard-right Freedom Party, the FPö? Following the collapse of attempts by the country’s centrist politicians to keep him out of power after his party came top at an election last September (though with only 29% of the vote), Mr Kickl now seems likely to become chancellor. The FPö has been in government before, as a junior partner. This time, it looks as though Mr Kickl will get the top job. That is bad news for the country: he has called for a “Fortress Austria” free from asylum-seekers and employs rhetoric with Nazi overtones. And it consolidates a worrying pattern of Russia-sympathisers gaining power across central Europe.
