Austria: Far-Right Candidate Tops 1st Round of Presidential Elections
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Austria, a far-right candidate has won the first round of the
presidential elections after running on an anti-immigrant campaign
focusing on the arrival of refugees. It was the best result to date for
the far-right Freedom Party in a national election. The party's
candidate will face a Green party-backed candidate in a runoff in May.
