Auschwitz Committee
Austria: A historic victory for the far right with the slogan “Fortress Country” – Why the Auschwitz committee raised alarm across Europe
Herbert Kickl, leader of Austria’s far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ), described the historic victory in Sunday’s elections as the beginning of a new era.
Kickl’s party secured 29.2% of the vote and 58 seats in parliament, although this does not grant them a majority (Austria’s parliament has 183 seats).
