Elections in Austria: The Haider Menace
Since 1945 the development of post-war Austrian democracy has been characterized by surprising stability, thanks to the responsibility and collaboration of the two major parties, the Christian Democrat ÖVP and the Socialist SPÖ, which often governed the country in a grand coalition. With the recent elections of 3rd October 1999, however, the post-war era of Austrian politics could be turning. Winner of the elections was the opposition FPÖ led by Jörg Haider, the xenophobic <i>enfant terrible</i> of Austrian politics. With a margin of only 400 votes Haider's National Liberals passed by the Christian Democrats, thus becoming the second party in the "National Council". The possibility of the FPÖ entering a coalition has generated serious concerns in the European partner countries as well as in Israel. The shape of the next government in Vienna is not yet in sight, since a simple continuation of the severely punished grand coalition under chancellor Viktor Klima (SPÖ) would appear as a betrayal of the voters' will. Austrian democrats could be challenged to find the courage for significant political change.

Austria and EU: Sanctions against Haider
After four months of party haggling Austria has finally a new government: a coalition of the Freedom Party FPÖ led by the xenophobic populist Jörg Haider and the Christian Democrat ÖVP under the new chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel (ÖVP). The inclusion of Haider’s far-right Freedom Party has led to Austria’s international isolation. Alarmed by the violation of an unwritten taboo the EU’s prime ministers have downgraded relations with Vienna and many ministers from other European countries refuse to meet with their Austrian counterparts. Austria’s Federal president Thomas Klestil and chancellor Schüssel have tried to tranquilize the Community, but the triumphant FPÖ-leader Haider has made things even worse by pronouncing several offensive statements against the partner countries. The European Union is now in trouble, trying to handle its sanctions against Austria in a rational manner and without making a hero of the Austrian outlaw. On 29th February Haider has stepped down as FPÖ-chairman, but many fear that Austria’s most popular leader is only preparing for the chancellor’s office.
