And welcome to the program austria is on track to become western europes only country with a far right party in government after the conservatives struck a Coalition Deal with the Freedom Party austrias new chancellor of the boston courts will become the continents youngest leader after his party won octobers elections with a hard line against immigration will go to vienna to find out what the return of the far right means for the countrys future but first we have this report. The deal is done for a new government in austria and its one that shifts the country sharply to the right Sebastian Cortes the leader of the conservative Peoples Party will become chancellor and europes youngest head of government at just thirty one he has partnered with Karlheinz Tata the leader of the far right Freedom Party their top goal to curb immigration. Our goals are very clear we want to reduce the burden on taxpayers we want to strengthen our position to secure our Social Security system above all we want to ensure more security in our country including fighting illegal immigration. Kurtzs hardline stance on immigration was one of the main reasons he topped the october poll he addressed the anxieties of many voters about the refugee crisis calling for tougher border controls and promising change his party won the election with thirty one point five percent of the vote. For you know its very more look exactly two months ago the austrian people voted they made a clear decision for a change in our country and we want to secure this change together in the next five years. Austrian president alexander founded belen is expected to swear in the new government on monday but its not one that he like the green leaning politician is an open critic of the far right just one year ago he narrowly won the president ial election against the Freedom Partys candidate. For more on this lets cross now to journalist john commons in vienna john its good to see you the far right Freedom Party have been in a Coalition Government in austria before so this is not the first time what impact are they likely to have. Well i think weve seen already from the kinds of statements that have been coming out of the Coalition Negotiations what kind of impact the Freedom Party the populist far out party here are likely to have in government certainly mr coates has made some concessions it would same to get this coalition off the ground and as your reports are fairly clearly stated in that package most of those concessions seem to be around the idea of clamping down on immigration and. Refugee policy and that kind of thing and also some kind of far reaching reforms in the areas of the social partnership here in austria so i think theyre going to be the major themes that will see the Freedom Party here take the lead on ok and the party is potentially getting some of the biggest ministries foreign interior and defense should the European Union leaders be worried about this. Well certainly the the Freedom Party leader Hans Christian strucker is going to be the deputy chancellor here thats for certain they will also as you said at the interior ministry which is a very powerful ministry here in austria and the Foreign Ministry as well looks like its going to go to someone whos up a lot a lot allied to the freedom body at least whether or not the european. Union should be worried about these im not exactly sure i mean it will remain to be seen in what direction the government goes i suppose whats interesting i think is the reaction from europe so far i mean back in two thousand when we had this. This conservative freedom Party Government the first time around of course the e. U. Impose sanctions on austria there were protests there was a huge reaction from brussels and from all across europe this time theres been barely a week its as though the whole Political Landscape has shifted so far to the right now that this has become simply an ordinary occurrence. Ok a different reaction a different situation during the campaign refugees and Border Security dominated it why did these far right positions go down so well with austrian voters well i think you have to remember that austria did accept a lot of refugees back in twenty fifteen in fact in terms of population as many as as germany back in that big wave of by which they came across the west balkans and i think there are legitimate concerns about always people that arrived people are concerned about Border Security theyre concerned about the social system here and whether it can curb it instead about finding jobs and accommodation and so on those kinds of concerns are also seen in germany and i think what coolants did very well as you realized very early on that this was about you know that he could play on those kinds of views that people have and he could make that into a winning proposition for the election back in october and so i think thats thats proving to be correct john cummins in vienna thank you in india gandhi has taken over as the leader of the Main Opposition Congress party the forty seven year old becomes the sixth member of the countrys name rue gandhi political family to head the party gandhi faces the tough task of resurrecting a party thats struggling to make a comeback from its worst ever election showing in two thousand and fourteen thats when the hindu nationalist b j p of Prime Minister Narendra Modi swept to power with a landslide victory.
