Listen "Austria's Election and the Rise of the Right in Europe"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode, join The Round Room as we break down the recent win of Austria’s far-right Freedom Party and its implications. With a history rooted in nationalist ideology, this victory is a key part of a broader trend of rising far-right populism across Europe. Follow us as we explore how this movement echoes similar shifts in Germany, France, and beyond, and what it means for global politics.
