You will probably not see much discussion of this in the Western, especially U.S. media, however Austria has announced they are overturning the May 22nd election result and will now hold a new presidential election.


The Freedom Party (nationalist/conservative) candidate, Norbert Hofer, lost the election to the former leader of the Greens Party (globalist/liberal), Alexander Van der Bellen, by 30,863 votes (less than one percentage point). The election will now be re-run.
In between the prior vote (May) and the decision to hold a new vote (July) a reasonable person cannot avoid noticing/referencing the Brexit vote (June). Now Austria will get a do-over, absent of the fraud, and with it an opportunity for self determination.
Almost all of the reporting on this rather stunning developments are coming from left-wing media, so keep that in mind as you read and presentations on the matter.
[Via BBC] Austria’s politics have been thrown into confusion. One of the most controversial and polarising presidential elections in recent history will have to be re-run.

The Freedom Party is hoping that the decision by the court will help its candidate Norbert Hofer win in the new election this autumn.

Will Mr Hofer choose to make Austria’s future membership of the EU a campaign issue? (read more)
