Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ)

The Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) is a nationalist and right-wing political party in Austria. Founded in 1956, it is known for its emphasis on sovereignty, immigration control, and conservative social values. The FPÖ often advocates for limiting immigration, promoting Austrian culture, and reducing integration policies they view as too lenient. It has faced controversy over its associations with nationalist and sometimes extremist rhetoric, but it also positions itself as a defender of traditional Austrian interests. The party’s stance has evolved over time, balancing populist appeals with policies aimed at enhancing national identity and security.
