  • Thursday Protest Marches Resume Following FPOe Election Victory<br>VIENNA, AUSTRIA - OCTOBER 03: Protesters demanding an exclusion of the far-right Freedom Party of Austria (FPOe) from the next Austrian government burn Bengal firework as they gather in front of the Austrian parliament building on October 03, 2024 in Vienna, Austria. The FPOe came in first place with approximately 29% of the vote in national elections on September 29 and is hoping to rule with a coalition partner. Today's protest is a resumption of similar protests when the FPOe was part of previous government coalitions. Sunday's election result also makes possible a three-party coalition between the Austrian People's Party (OeVP), the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPOe) and the NEOS party.
