Austria's Kurz to open coalition talks with far-right
By EUobserver
Sebastian Kurz, whose centre-right People's Party won the Austrian elections on 15 October, invited on Tuesday the far-right Freedom Party (FPO) to open discussions on forming a government coalition. The anti-EU and anti-migrant FPO, led by Heinz-Christian Strache, came second in the elections and claims the interior ministry. Kurz said he would like discussions to start on Wednesday.
