Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ)

The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) is a nationalist and right-wing political party founded in 1956. It promotes policies emphasizing national sovereignty, immigration restrictions, and traditional cultural values. The party often advocates for stricter border controls and has a Eurosceptic stance, questioning deeper European integration. FPÖ has been both influential and controversial in Austrian politics, frequently critiquing immigration policies and multiculturalism. Its platform appeals to voters seeking a focus on national identity and conservative social policies, though it has faced criticism for associations with far-right ideologies and past controversial statements.
