Rightwing Freedom Party May Win Austrian Election

The national election in Austria on Sept. 29 may see the Freedom Party (FPÖ) as winner, as indicated by the latest opinion polls which give the party 28%. The Christian-conservative People’s Party (ÖVP) is seen at 24%, followed by the Social Democrats (SPÖ) with 21%. The neo-liberal Neos are given 10%, the Greens 8%. The losses of the Greens are particularly interesting, as the party reached 14% in the 2019 election.
