European Elections: Results of Austria

The European Elections were preceeded by generally boring, but at times very aggressive campaigns. The Freedom Party became extremely vicious with respect to muslims in Austria. As the results show, it didn't fare that badly with this strategy - however, for me it is more important that the main pro-EU party (the conservative People's Party) lost "only" three percentage points and ranks clearly as the number 1, far ahead of the Social Democrats, who have engaged on a "Yes, but"-policy that had a severe credibility problem.

The results are published for each province, district and community by the Ministry of Internal Affiars.
