Austria is getting a new coalition government without the far-right election winner

apnews.com Austria is getting a new coalition government without the far-right election winner

Three parties have reached a deal to form a new centrist Austrian government, two weeks after a far-right party that won an election in September failed to put together an administration.

There were serious talks about the center right ÖVP forming a coalition with the far right FPÖ so good to see that did not happen

I was in Vienna in late October and the people were marching in the streets to protest against the far right winning party. Glad it paid off for them in the end!
- Germans and Austrians still remember the horrors that extremism can cause. It is so sad that US completely forgot.
Woah ha ha, you had us worried for a moment there.
- Austria is only part of Deutschland if the far right would have gotten to power ;)
  
  Ah, you're right, my bad. It's such a central place in so much of German history that I had it mistaken, I apologize.
Yeah! Good news from Austria!
