Austrian government, the blueprint for Europe’s new wave of populism, fighting for its political life


history, Austria's populist coalition government, seen as a blueprint for several right-wing groups across the continent, is fighting for its political future. Kurz’s political future will be determined the day after European Union elections, which are currently being held across the 28-member bloc from May 22-26. The political fallout from the FPO’s major scandal could be a setback for right-wing nationalist parties in the E.U. Europe’s nationalist and anti-immigrant forces, led by Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, have made anti-E.U. Austria is a small country with minimal influence and the troubles of the FPO are effectively a domestic political concern.
