Im welcome to the program all strands of voting in a National Election that could swing the country to the right and pave the way for europes youngest leader polling stations opened a few years ago and the thirty one year old foreign minister sebastian courts is tipped to become chancellor his Peoples Party has taken a hard line against refugees in the run up to the vote is widely expected to go into government with the far right Freedom Party which has campaigned on an anti immigration anti islam platform. Well be speaking to our correspondent in the capital vienna in just a moment but first here is how you may gratian has shaped the election. Thirty one year old sebastian courts only became leader of the Peoples Party and made since then besides economic reform hes made immigration the cornerstone of his election campaign. Weve got the guns and im going to strike a very clear path which is going to reduce illegal migration to zero who sets off illegally must be stopped at the border taken care of and sent back it cant be that the traffickers decide who gets through and not we as a republic or the European Union. His views echo those of the anti immigrant far right Freedom Party. Indiscriminate Mass Immigration from outside europe naturally islamist terror into the heart of europe seals. And what we have now is that through the many associations structures and mosques there is such a tenacious and dangerous structure that i say ban the radical islamic organizations mosques and kindergartens and expel their members im sure. His words have found favor with austrians who fear their country is losing its national identity. Even so it could still favorites to be austrias next leader but hell most likely have to form a coalition with the Freedom Party. Meanwhile incumbent chancellor Christian Karen leader of the social democrats has become bogged down in internal scandals and accusations against the media something thats only played into the hands of his opponents who have been busy trying to outdo each other on immigration control. Joining us from vienna is correspondent max huffman masses good to see you so immigration seems to have dominated this campaign and in fact the boston could who won support to taking in more migrants is now calling for a crackdown why is this issue such a big deal in austria. The first reason you have to look at the geographic situation of austria its been on the front lines of immigration and the general migration crisis in europe for a long time whether people came from syria over the western Balkans Route or if they come through the mediterranean up italy and so most migrants pass through austria and that must be one of the reasons why this topic resonates so much with austrian voters but if you look at germany same thing theres a there for to many this is a question of cultural identity and thats why the f. B. I. For a long time has chosen this as their main topic and cool its from the conservative fall pay has done the same thing that also the the short answer to is it seems to work with voters to have a fairly hardline course on immigration speaking of hard lines the far right Freedom Party is why do you expect to enter government of course in a coalition with. How will this be viewed in europe well to be fair you have to say that the f. B. I. Has softened his stance on europe that used to be a fairly anti e. U. Party back when they were in a coalition almost twenty years ago so theyve softened that stance and they will find allies in the European Union especially to the east the socalled visa grug group that includes for example poland and hungary and many here talk about maybe austria joining that group that group that says we want our sovereignty we dont want brussels to meddle too much with us of course that opposes them to countries like germany with going to evacuate but at the moment especially with frances president in cologne was high flying plans for the European Union to tighten the integrity of the European Union there might be some trouble there with the new austrian government max hoffman joining us from vienna thank you.
