Austria's hard-right Freedom Party secured a historic victory in national elections on Sunday, in what is being seen as just the latest landmark moment in the rising tide of populism in Europe.
Herbert Kickl, the party's leader, has helped to bring the FPOe from the fringes into the political mainstream over recent years, focusing his campaign on an anti-immigration message which appears to have resonated with voters.
In its manifesto, Fortress Austria, the FPOe promoted the controversial policy of 'remigration', calling for the forced return of 'uninvited foreigners' to their home countries and vowing to achieve a more 'homogenous' nation.
