Austrians await results of presidential elections

In Austria plays this Sunday the future of the far right in the country.

The Austrians are participating in presidential elections to choose the successor to the social democrat Heinz Fischer whose second term is coming to an end.

What marks the difference of these elections is that for the first time since the end of World War II the head of State will be able to get out of the extreme right.

Even if the President does not involve extensive powers, this can dissolve Parliament and appoint a new Chancellor.

Norbert Hofer is the candidate of the freedom party. Voted in Pinkafe ld in the East of the country. In the first round has collected 35 percent of the vote.

Alexander Van Der Bellen is the other candidate. Bellen voted Sunday morning in Vienna, competes as an independent but has the support of his former party, the Greens.

Among the various themes that mark the agenda include the crisis of refugees but also the disappointment with the traditional parties, the SPO and the people's Party, which since the end of World War II rule the country in alternation or in coalition.
