But Austria's right-wing inclination hasn't disappeared at all. On the contrary, today's parliamentary elections – amongst a shockingly high turnout simply about 80% – ended amongst a clear victory of the right-wing, "acceptably" anti-immigration political party led yesteryear 31-year-old whizz-kid Sebastian Kurz. ÖVP has earned 32% which is 8% to a greater extent than than final time.
"Far right" together with strongly antimigration Freedom Party FPÖ got 27.4%, over 6% to a greater extent than than the final time, together with is Kurz's preferred coalition partner. The right-wing coalition volition get got a real rubber majority.
At the end, the SPÖ social democrats led yesteryear electrical flow prime number government minister Kern dropped from the 2nd identify to third identify amongst 26.7% but it won't last enough. They got equally much equally they did final time. Note that for an Austrian political party to last successful to a higher identify 10%, it has to get got both Ö together with P inwards their 3-letter acronym. So who lost deputies?
Shockingly enough, the Green Party led yesteryear Ulrike Luňáček exclusively got 3.3% together with volition stay out of the Parliament – the threshold is 4%. Luňáček is ane of the many Czech bird surnames, pregnant a "little kite" (black kite or ruby kite, the coloring is non specified). That's a huge drib from 12.4% they got final time.
But this huge drib is partially explained yesteryear ane political party that got in, PILZ led yesteryear Mr Pilz (no relation to the beer invented inwards my hometown). Mr Pilz left the Green Party some years agone together with his novel political party genuinely got to a greater extent than successful, nearly 4.1% (a conduct chances exists it volition last beneath the threshold), afterward he funded his political party yesteryear crowdfunding!
NEOS, a libertarian party, got 5%, simply similar final time. The remaining parties get got 2%, much less than 11% final time.
OK, the youngest prime number government minister inwards the Blue Planet Kurz (31) volition squad upward amongst the far correct political party (which had Haider if y'all remember) together with volition brand a clearly anti-immigration government. They may spiritually or formally bring together the Visegrád Group – but they may also trump the Visegrád Group inwards their opposition to bulk migration. While they volition switch to the anti-immigration frequency now, Republic of Austria has genuinely accepted the greatest position out of immigrants equally a per centum of their population inwards the whole EU!
Visegrád summation Republic of Austria (yellow) would genuinely get got a greater position out of European Union lawmakers than whatsoever private fellow member dry soil – together with it would rhythm out Deutschland inwards another respects, too.
Congratulations to Austria. If I were offered a similar composition of the Czech parliament adjacent calendar week (our elections are Fri together with Saturday), I wouldn't hesitate for a second. Ours volition last much less satisfactory, I think.
Republic of Austria has sued Republic of Hungary over its planned expansion of a nuclear ability found (with some Russian help). I sincerely promise that this Austrian Ludditism – which has previously targeted Czech Republic many times – volition weaken due to this implosion of the Green Party.
