Hey gang, it's me, Dr. Steve. You know we've been reporting on the amazing surge of the Patriot right in Italy and France and Sweden and Hungary and Poland, but now the populist right is taking over the nation of Austria.

We're going to see the latest of what's going on there, and we're going to see why the nationalist right success throughout Europe is just beginning. You're not going to miss this.

A number of reports have been coming out of late on the astonishing rise of the Austrian Freedom Party, the populist Patriot Party that's taking the nation by storm.

Just a few weeks back, the province of lower Austria held their regional elections and punnets were absolutely astonished at the surge in support for the Austrian Freedom Party.

They went over 24% of the vote up nearly 10 points from the last state level election back in 2018.

The show was so impressive that the establishment conservative party known as the People's Party officially entered into a coalition with them, which in effect means

that Austria's largest province is now governed by thoroughly nationalist populist coalition.

Now commentators have noted that this coalition in many respects is in fact a reunion. It's a kind of, you know, back to the future relationship.

I see back in October of 2017, nearly a year after President Trump won his election.

The nationalist populist Freedom Party, along with the more establishment conservative People's Party, won an overwhelming 60% of the vote in Austria's national elections.

It was an absolutely stunning move to the right and they of course formed a coalition headed by the young and charismatic Sebastian Kurtz as chancellor who was himself the head of the more establishment People's Party.

And it fell upon the name of Heinz Christian Strache who was the head of the nationalist populist Freedom Party and he became of course the vice chancellor.

Together they oversaw what was perhaps the single most conservative government in all of Europe outside of Viktor Orban's Hungary and the law and justice party in Poland.

In fact, one of the more controversial moves of the government was the shutting down a several mosques and expelling a number of Turkish funded imams

as a part of a crackdown on Islamic extremism within their borders.

However, a huge scandal ended up bringing the government down.

The leader of the Austrian Freedom Party and vice chancellor Heinz Christian Strache was secretly videotaped talking to a woman purporting to be the niece of a Russian oligarch.

Apparently there was a they were in a villa and the island resort of Ibiza, Spanish island when Strache was covertly filmed discussing how the supposed Russian oligarch niece could gain control of the country's largest circulation tabloid and install editorial staff who would help the Austrian Freedom Party's election campaigns.
