Short report on the ugly political situation in Austria

This is a good, ten-minute Deutsche Welle report inn English on the current political situation (crisis) in Austria.



It features a short but worthwhile interview with Austrian political scientist and independent political analyst Natascha Strobl.

As she says in the clip, “The strength of the far right is the weakness of all the other democratic parties.” And that’s true in varying degrees in various other countries, including the United States, as well.
