Looks like it, I can't think of any other leftist/green president in Europe.

The results are interesting, since VdB winning by 6% was more than unexpected (reverse Trump effect).

As Austrian I think that a lot of people realized that the tool of the "Denkzettelwahl" can backfire badly.

But what did he mean by that?

As far as I can see the only municipality where Hofer did not lose badly compared to the first run-off election is Puchenstuben, a 315-people village in southern Lower Austria. Does anyone have an idea why that would be? Local politics seem to be mostly social democrat instead. Anywhere else vdB's share of the votes increased in a big way

I'm sure they have a lot of problems with immigrants in their sleepy village, nestled between the beautiful landscape. In the village pub they still tell the horror story of the one time, when their mayor saw a black man....

Maybe Austrians took a long, hard look at the US and thought: is that really ... us?

I'm not sure how much this means. It kind of shows how volatile most electoral systems are. The question was not between slightly-left-of-center and slightly-right-of-center, like in Germany, but between FPÖ and Greens. This time it's Greens, last times it was Brexit and Trump.

I really don't think that the local right-wing voters identify with Trump or with the Americans per se.

Even to them the American alt-right is considered insane with their hostility towards institutions like healthcare or a national retirement fund, which are considered unbudgeable around here.

The US and Brexit votes suffered from the fact that many status quo voters didn't bother voting because they thought their side had it in the bag. After Trump they didn't have that certainty anymore, so everybody who didn't want Hofer to win made sure to actually cast their ballot. At least that's my interpretation.

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.

Maybe they watch the news and say to themselves "well, New Years in Cologne was really lovely, let's not have that here" the same way some people look at the US and say "well, this Trump guys is a shitler, let's not have that here" only small children need to put their hand on a hot plate to notice that it's a bad idea, others can learn for the mistakes of others.

He's suggesting that rural Austrians are justified in voting for a neofascist because they are afraid of swarthy foreigners ruining their all-white Alpine villages.

I am not justifying; I am telling you why people vote that way.

People read the (more or less sensationalist) news from the cities and then decide to make sure the problems they have with migrants stay there. It's how Mecklemburg-Vorpommern's 20% AFD result happened.

It's pretty simple., really: poor people in cities vote fascist to see things change, rich people in rural areas vote fascist so nothing changes.

Both are obviously justified in their expectations.

GC, since you have fringe opinions for a a D&D poster, could you write some explanation with your links? It's not always clear what you are criticising or trying to say.

Should the tagesthemen report on every murder in Germany? Should they report on every murder where foreigners/refugees are suspects?

Die GEZ (bzw. ihre Nachfolgerin) hat ein unverdient schlechtes Image. Die Drückerkolonnen, die Leute belästigen und Mülltonnen durchsuchen kommen nämlich nicht von der GEZ sondern werden direkt von den Rundfunkanstalten des jeweiligen Sendergebiets angeheuert.

Selbstverständlich über einen vergleichsweise gut verdienenden Subunternehmer, der das eigentliche Drücken dann irgendwelchen 1€-Jobbern oder andere prekär Beschäftigte ausüben lässt. :eng101:

The murder of this girl was already national news before we knew who the suspect was. I don't know what the FAZ article is on about, but I guess they think that the fact that a high profile case like this is now linked to the topic of refugees makes it "relevant".

I honestly don't know how many murders happen in Germany, and how many of those are situations where somebody murders a stranger. But some number of them do capture the public imagination, and maybe it's appropriate to do a bit about it on the tagesschau.

Alternatively maybe faz wants to capture the Lügenpresse crowd as readers.
