Austria far right eyes historic victory in tight polls
Briefly

Johanna Irrenfried described the FPOe's rising popularity: "It is a time of change. In the past years the FPOe has never been that strong." This sentiment underscores the shifting political landscape.
Herbert Kickl capitalized on voter frustrations by campaigning with slogans like: "Courageously try something new," addressing concerns over migration, inflation, and Covid restrictions.

Kickl criticized Nehammer's stance on EU sanctions, claiming, "We need something new for our country," emphasizing the desire for a different political direction in Austria.
