“Freedom Party candidate, Norbert Hofer, lost the election to the former leader of the Greens, Alexander Van der Bellen, by just 30,863 votes or less than one percentage point. The election will now be re-run. If elected, Mr Hofer would become the first far-right head of state of an EU country. His party has based its election campaigns around concern over immigration and falling living standards for the less well-off. After Britain voted to leave the EU, Mr Hofer said he favoured holding a similar referendum in Austria if the bloc failed to stop centralisation and carry out reforms ‘within a year’.”
