Austria's three leading centrist political parties have successfully negotiated a coalition agreement, effectively sidelining the far-right Freedom Party, which won 29% of votes in September elections. The coalition includes the conservative People's Party, Social Democrats, and the liberal Neos party, potentially seating a government within a week. This deal concludes a five-month political impasse and aims to counter the Freedom Party's ascent, which posits hard-right views, including anti-immigration stances. The coalition will face significant challenges addressing pressing issues, such as migration and public concerns over rising extremism.
