MONITORING (SW) –\u00a0Political parties on the European right celebrated the parliamentary election victory by Austria’s Freedom Party (FPO) as a boost for national conservatives amid advances by the hard right fuelled by worries about immigration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Led by Herbert Kickl, who capitalized on a misfiring economy and concerns that Austria has taken in people faster than it can integrate them, the FPO won around 29% of the vote, a record result that may give it a platform to lead the next government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Kickl must find a partner to form a stable coalition and he is loathed by other party leaders, who have refused to serve under him and quickly began discussing the possibility of sounding out alternatives to an FPO-led government.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

However, there were warm words from allies in Europe, where the FPO forms part of a right-wing group inside the European Parliament led by France’s far-right National Rally (RN).<\/p>\n

\n

The win by the Eurosceptic FPO could sow division within the European Union over foreign policy areas such as support for Ukraine against Moscow’s invasion of the country.<\/p>\n

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Facebook: “What a weekend!! After the Czech Republic, another victory for the Patriots across the border… No war, no migration and no gender propaganda!”<\/p>\n

Dutch nationalist Geert Wilders, whose PVV party leads the Dutch government, responded to the FPO victory on X by saying: “We are winning! Times are changing! Identity, sovereignty, freedom and no more illegal immigration\/asylum is what tens of millions of Europeans long for!”<\/p>\n

Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini of the co-ruling League party said in a statement the Austrian vote was “a historic day in the name of change.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
