BERLIN (Reuters) - After a series of setbacks for far-right parties in Europe this year, Austria's anti-immigration Freedom Party (FPO) delivered one of its strongest performances ever in an election on Sunday and could rejoin the government after a 12-year absence.
Early projections showed the center-right People's Party (OVP), led by Sebastian Kurz, had won the most votes in Austria, with about 31 percent.
The FPO was vying with the center-left Social Democrats (SPO) for second place, with both parties between 26-27 percent. Kurz could now look to form a coalition with the FPO, which was last part of a government in Austria between 2000 and 2005.
Below are key take-aways from the Austrian vote and its implications for Europe.
