Austria's far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ) has won a national parliamentary election, marking the first far-right victory in the country since World War II. Led by Herbert Kickl, the party capitalized on economic concerns and immigration issues. However, despite the win, the FPÖ faces significant challenges in forming a coalition government, as many political rivals have expressed reluctance to collaborate with them. The president of Austria will play a crucial role in overseeing the formation of a stable government. The election result has sparked celebrations among far-right groups across Europe, but Austria's political future remains uncertain.
