The Freedom Party and its leader, Herbert Kickl, have steadily built support by demonizing immigrants, while entering Austria’s political mainstream.
A day after clinching her first World Cup downhill victory and the 30th overall win of her career, Federica Brignone on Sunday ended the super-G race in third position in St. Anton, Austria, behind winner Lauren Macuga of the US and Austria's Stephanie Venier.
The leader of the anti-immigrant Freedom Party of Austria, founded by former Nazis in the 1950s, was expected to be asked to enter into talks to form a new government.
The Freedom Party is in the driver's seat to lead the next government after the centre right agreed to coalition talks.
