Austria: far right suffer limited losses over 'Ibizagate' scandal
Philip Oltermann Philip Oltermann
The centre-right Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP) of chancellor, Sebastian Kurz, performed strongly in the Alpine state, where the far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ) suffered less severely than expected from a recent corruption scandal.
Exit polls saw Kurz’s conservatives as the strongest party on 34.5% of the vote, up by 7.5% on the previous elections. The centre-left SPÖ came second on 23.5% but performed slightly less well than in 2014.
Austria’s political landscape has over the last week been shaken up by the emergence of a video showing Freedom party leader and vice-chancellor, Heinz-Christian Strache, offering a purported Russian heiress lucrative public contracts in exchange for campaign support. Strache resigned from government, and the remaining FPÖ ministers have been fired or resigned from office since.
But the rightwing populist party fared better in the European elections than many had expected, with their share of the vote only down by 2.2 percentage points, at 17.5%.

Hungary: Viktor Orbán's party leads poll on anti-migrant campaign
Shaun Walker Shaun Walker
There is not too much suspense in Hungary, where Fidesz, the party of the far-right prime minister, Viktor Orbán, is going to dominate the vote. The only question is just how decisive its victory will be. Polls before voting day had Fidesz winning about 55% of the vote and 14 of Hungary’s 21 seats in the European parliament. The new liberal party Momentum is hoping to edge across the 5% threshold and grab a seat.
Orbán has based the whole Fidesz campaign around the issue of migration, as he has done with all campaigns for the past few years. Budapest is plastered with anti-migration billboards and Orbán has spoken of the importance for the future of Europe that the next parliament is dominated by “anti-migration” forces. Orbán will be a key player in the building of any nationalist/populist coalition in the next parliament. Fidesz are hanging on in the centre-right EPP grouping by a thread, but Orbán has been flirting with Salvini and his new nationalist bloc.

On the streets of Budapest on Sunday, there were signs the anti-migration message is working. In the third district, on the Buda side of the Danube, 33-year-old cleaning lady Barbara Erlaki said she was voting Fidesz because “I will only feel safe if Orbán stays in power”. She also liked the Orbán government’s pro-family policy. A 76-year-old woman who declined to give her name said she had voted Fidesz because of its migration policy: “I don’t want the migrants to come in. It’s not about supporting Orbán, it’s about being against the migrants. I’m old now but I’m worried for the young people.”
There were also many who had backed opposition parties and expressed disgust at Orbán’s politics and rhetoric, but the strongholds of Fidesz are in the countryside, and a higher-than-ever turnout for European elections points to the government mobilising its voting base well.

Germany: Greens rise, as established parties flounder – exit poll
Philip Oltermann Philip Oltermann
Exit polls in Germany paint a picture of a sobering night for the two large centrist parties, and a particularly devastating evening for the centre-left.
Both Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union and the Social Democratic Union could face the worst result at European elections in their history, with the CDU at 28%, and the SPD at 15.5% of the vote.
The Green party look like the biggest winners of the evening, almost doubling their 2014 result to leapfrog the SPD into second place with 22%. The rightwing populist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) are also expected to have improved on their first elections in 2014, with a projected 10.5%
Exit polls from state elections in Bremen tonight will add to a sense of doom and gloom at the SPD headquarters in Berlin: the Social Democrats look likely to be beaten into second place for the first time ever in the city state where the centre-left has governed uninterrupted for over 70 years.
