Austrian Election: Turning Right Wing

The Washington Post is reporting that the results of the Austrian election are almost completely in and that a center right wing man named Sebastian Kurz has won the National election.  He is thirty-one years old, which will make him the youngest leader in the European Union.  Kurz is part of the People’s Party, which has campaigned for the tightening of Austria’s borders showing the anti-immigration focus in that country.  Social democrats had been in charge and this is the first time in decades that a right wing party will be in charge of Austrian affairs.
