Austria's far right celebrates party's victory in national elections

Austria's far right topped national elections on Sunday, marking a historic victory. The public broadcaster in Austria has announced projected results from Sunday's election to choose members of the lower house of parliament.

The Freedom Party, founded by a former Nazi member in the 1950s, advocates policies against immigrants and refugees. All other parties however have so far rejected forming a coalition with the FPO. The advance of the FPO comes at a time when far-right and right-wing political parties are calling for restrictions on immigration and are gaining ground in major elections in Germany, France and the Netherlands.
