Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs
Placement: Far right
Freedom Party, radical right, led by Herbert Kickl: first in the 2024 election with almost 29%, it stayed in opposition after talks with the People's Party failed. An end to immigration, national sovereignty and neutrality, strong criticism of the European Union, skepticism about sanctions on Russia, more direct democracy.
In short
On the traditional scale, Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs sits in the far right camp. The clearest positions are on justice: strongly towards “tough on crime”; immigration: strongly towards “control”; sovereignty: strongly towards “sovereignty”; state: strongly towards “authority”. Among ideologies, the closest is sovereigntism (89%).
