Jörg Haider and the Rise of the FPÖ

Jörg Haider and the Rise of the FPÖ

This week, we dive into the rise of Austria's far-right FPÖ party and its controversial leader, Jörg Haider, whose meteoric ascent left a lasting mark on Austrian politics. As we explore the twists and turns of Austrian politics and Haider's influence, Stephen's dog Bo voices his disapproval loudly in the background. We also take some classic Viennese detours, including the city's obsession with academic titles and Carinthia's infamous road sign debates. Join us for a revealing look at Austria's political landscape—and how we got to where we are today.
