In a historic first, the FPO under Herbert Kickl won the national elections with 28.8% of the vote, surpassing previous records held by Jorg Haider in 1999.
Kickl, a hardline ideologue with a family history tied to Nazism, pledged to become Austria's volkskanzler, drawing on Nazism's historical rhetoric.
By advocating 'remigration,' Kickl presents the new right's ideology in more palatable language, appealing to growing public discontent over pandemic management and inflation.
About 443,000 votes supporting the FPO came from the OVP, highlighting Kickl's ability to mobilise disillusioned voters, particularly in rural areas.
