Here he is toting his .38 caliber walking cane. Looks very dangerous and could probably go off any time.
Seizing? Sounds like they’re being properly elected to me.
Good news!
Wow! Seizing the presidency! Coup d’état?
I know the Austrians like most Europeans were upset with the open door policy for the “refugees”, but I never expected the complete over throw.
I thought they were having an election today. An election for presidency.
WOW!
How long until Merkel decides another Anschluss would be a good idea?
Great news - looks like some nations in Europe are waking up to the Islamic menace even if belatedly. If this corresponds to a reduction in socialism and liberalism, that’ll be an added bonus.
IIRC Austria is one of the few European countries (might be the only one actually) that recognizes the right to self-defense, and the process of getting a permit to own/carry firearms isn't too much different from some US states.
On the Italy-Austria border there is a crucial mountain pass that Muslim migrant-invaders have been allowed free through. Two months ago Austria announced this pass would now be closed off to non-visa entry. Fenced off so to speak.

Nigel Farage said a few years ago that in modern Europe “far-right” has become a generic insult.
It is high time that Austria, once the annexed redheaded stepchild of Germany, stand for itself, in a time when good ol’ Germany has a bad case of self-applied visage de alimentary canal.
Talk to me in 2018 if they seize Parliament. While this is encouraging, it’s a ceremonial role and he only has 35% AND he has a runoff coming up.
Maybe they can take their country back from the liberal wacko’s
Outlaw Islam
Expel all Muslims
Stop all aid to Muslim lands
Actually, I think it suffices to be opposed to unfettered immigration from the Muslim world to be branded “far-right” in Europe. One could be gung-ho for European integration, but suggest that a united Europe should limit immigration from the Muslim world and you’ll be “far-right”.
