This R&D provides resources on Austria’s turn to the right.  Last week, the Austrian Freedom Party, a far-right party that campaigns on a platform of immigration restriction and euroskepticism won the first round of the Austrian presidential election.  The party won the most votes in its sixty-year history for the ceremonial post.  However, if its candidate, Norbert Hofer wins the runoff it would pave the way for new parliamentary elections that could also benefit it.  Anti-EU parties across Europe championed Hofer’s win, but critics warned that it showed Europe was becoming increasingly intolerant of migrants and other cultures.
