Austria’s upcoming election could see the far-right, pro-Russia Freedom Party (FPÖ), founded by former Nazis, win. This would have significant historical and geopolitical implications, potentially shifting the balance of power between Russia and the West. Austria, a neutral EU member, has long been a strategic crossroads in Europe. The FPÖ, led by Herbert Kickl, is criticized for xenophobia and its opposition to supporting Ukraine. Despite other parties refusing to form a coalition with them, a win would symbolize a broader far-right movement in Europe, fueled by migration and economic crises.
