00:00Austria's far-right Freedom Party won for the first time parliamentary elections here in Austria.
00:07They are saying Danke, Österreich, thank you, Austria, because they were able to convince enough voters to gain 30 percent,
00:15around 30 percent, with their anti-immigration stance, their anti-Brussels stance.
00:20They are against more weapons deliveries to Ukraine and they are more aligned with countries like Hungary.
00:27But what will be difficult is finding a coalition to govern this country,
00:31because only one other party is open to governing with the Freedom Party,
00:36but this party says not with the Freedom Party's current leader, Herbert Kickl.
00:41So we'll see in the next days and weeks in which direction Austria will go.
