Unable To Confront Right-Wing Surge, [Austrian] Chancellor Steps Down
Brietbart ^ | 9 May 2016 | by Oliver JJ Lane

Austria’s Social Democratic Chancellor stood down in a shock announcement this morning amid collapsing support for traditional parties in the country, in a move which has been called “a beautiful day for Austria” by his insurgent nationalist opponents.

Socialist-left Chancellor Werner Faymann’s Social Democratic Party of Austria failed to even make it to the second round of voting in last month’s presidential elections, as citizens voted overwhelmingly for candidates from alternative political movements. Just one in ten Austrians voted for the party in government.

After the count, only Norbert Hofer of the Freedom Party of Austria and Alexander Van der Bellen of the Green Party went through to the next and final round of voting. Popular anger over Austria’s response to the migration crisis, which for most of 2015 was to welcome allcomers and made Austria one of the highest net importers of humans in Europe, has manifested itself at the ballot box.

Looks like it's getting serious among the Germanic folk. With Switzerland already turning right now this from Germany:

What’s so “Right Wing” about preserving borders, language and culture?

Will Austria, Hungary, maybe even Poland get it together and fight off the invasion enabled by the EU? A huge buffer state in those parts just might save civilization.

Apparently the people of Austria don’t want to give up their culture.

I’m shocked (NOT).

I predict the Visegrad 4 countries (Poland, Czech Rep., Slovakia and Hungary) will bolt.

I’d rather see a YUGE sinkhole than a bump in the road for the NWO.

What about Austria too? There is the history of Austria-Hungary.

What's going on is BEYOND appalling. The Germans lost WW2, for heaven's sake! Those dang tyrants just won't give up their evil ways.

Its not. Its just that the “Left Wing” lacks common sense.

The Marxist have pushed the culture so far to the left that common sense is now considered right wing.

Curious how close their German is to Germany? I know Swiss German can be quite hard for Germans to understand.
