Topornin noted that such a result is not unexpected.
“Almost all opinion polls showed that the party of Kurtz will gain in the range of 33-35%. Obviously, Kurtz will have to look for allies, he is unlikely to want to enter the government again with right-wing populists. With the Social Democrats, most likely, too. They say that the Green Party can act as a partner in the coalition, ”he explained.
According to the analyst, the preliminary leadership of the Kurtz party is due to the fact that the ideas of the former chancellor are close to the Austrians.
“On the issue of migrants, he has a clear and understandable position that uncontrolled migration needs to be stopped and taken under control, in the economy he offers solutions aimed at improving the investment climate, in order to increase social payments. Kurtz has a “trick” - with him, relations with Russia became stable, ”added Topornin.
In his opinion, it can be further assumed that Austria will take a well-balanced and balanced position in the international arena.
“He will propose himself as a moderator for resolving crisis phenomena, and will try to establish relations between Brussels and Moscow,” the expert concluded.
Earlier it became known that the party Kurtz leads the parliamentary elections in Austria.
