Walter Rosenkranz, the newly elected president of Austria's parliament from the far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ), hosted Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Vienna, despite criticism from other political parties. The meeting, attended by FPÖ leadership, was arranged before Rosenkranz took office. The FPÖ's rise in the elections reflects public anxiety over housing and healthcare, with the party blaming migration for various issues. Both FPÖ and Orbán's Fidesz party are part of the far-right European group Patriots for Europe, opposing the Green Deal and supporting close ties with Russia.
