I do love Austria. Right now its my favorite European country. I hope they elect this guy.
Good luck to him. Sunday is election day!
When nationalism prevails everywhere, what comes next? Separatism.
The Austrians canceled the previous election in May due to widespread fraud. It’ll be interesting to see if Hofer wins. The last election, even with fraud, was relatively close.
Jörg_Haider:
Wiki
“the heads of government of the other fourteen EU members decided to cease cooperation with the Austrian government, as it was felt in many countries that the cordon sanitaire against coalitions with parties considered as right-wing extremists, which had mostly held in Western Europe since 1945, had been breached. For several months, other national leaders shunned diplomatic contacts with members of the Schüssel government”
I think the euros ran Haider out on a rail!
He may have built a nice wall given the chance.
He will not be the executive leader. It’s more of a ceremonial position, but nonetheless his election would be a statement by the electorate.
AustriOut !
