The far-right Austrian presidential candidate Norbert Hofer’s campaign manager, Herbert Kickl, has conceded his candidate’s defeat to former Greens leader Alexander Van der Bellen, Reuters reports.
Kickl told the state broadcaster:
The bottom line is it didn’t quite work out. In this case the establishment - which pitched in once again to block, to stonewall and to prevent renewal - has won.
Also:
If confirmed, the margin of Van der Bellen’s forecast win over Hofer in Austria is a major surprise.
Polls in the run-up to the vote had the two candidates neck-and-neck, with several putting the far-right Freedom party’s Hofer ahead. But the first official results, released minutes ago, show the independent with 53.5% of the vote, with Hofer 46.4%.
Interior ministry officials have told the Associated Press that votes obviously continue to be counted and the percentages are therefore almost certain to vary, but the outcome is now unlikely to change.

I agree. You see it the way I do.
Get lost
Anyone opposed to the positions of the left:
abortion on demand, a welfare state, unlimited immigration.
The immigrants become immediately eligible for all those
welfare benefits.
I read all the way down to the bottom of this thread and I noticed that s-pd-run still hasn’t given an answer to the people who are asking him/her why a socialist win is a good thing.
The left committed massive vote fraud to deny Hofer the election earlier this year. Then when a court threw that out and called for a new election, the left and global media relentlessly portrayed him as a Nazi — even showing elderly Jewish Holocaust survivors “terrified” (by the media lies, not the truth about Hofer) in order to affect the entire population. It clearly worked. There was a massive shift of 8% the other way in yesterday’s vote. Austria is done.
Hofer should file for recounts in WI, MI, and PA...
Here is another description of the winner:
“Van der Bellen, a 72-year-old economist whose parents spent time in a refugee camp before they settled in Austria, backs liberal migration policies and is an outspoken supporter of gay marriage.”
Van der Bellen is boomer generation cuck.
Welcome to FR...the best conservative site on the web!
In Europe, it means ANY ideology even SLIGHTLY to the right of communism...
Uhh, he go “bye-bye.”
Apparently.
Very disappointing to say the least
It would appear that he lost by a larger margin than in May?
How can that possibly be?!
Is that supposed to be a joke?
That cat looks like it has a dog face.
16 year old kids voting = insanity. Did they drop the voting age recently... starting with this election?
