Austria Votes—Will the Cordon Sanitaire Hold?

This webinar originally aired on October 1nd, 2024. Speakers Reinhard C. Heinisch Professor, Paris Lodron University of Salzburg Marcus How Head of Analysis, VE Insight Sylvia Kritzinger Professor, University of Vienna Moderator Dániel Hegedűs Regional Director for Central Europe, The German Marshall Fund of the United States What social, economic, and political shifts have led to the troubling scenario of the ascendency of the far right in Austria and Europe? Will the conservative Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP) agree to be the crucial coalition partner for the FPÖ, or will it opt instead for a centrist-progressive alliance even if this may cost it politically in the long run? Might Vienna set a new direction in EU party politics with a right-wing government consisting of members of the European People’s Party and Patriots for Europe groups, under the leadership of the latter? Could these elections signal the beginning of democratic backsliding in Austria? Finally, how might EU support for Ukraine be affected if the pro-Russian FPÖ comes to power? Our panelists will explore these critical questions, shedding light on the domestic and European ramifications of Austria’s elections, and on what their result could mean for the continent’s political landscape in the years to come.
