Austria's President, Alexander Van der Bellen, has asked the leader of the conservative People's Party (OVP) to form a coalition government, despite the far-right Freedom Party winning the general election. The Freedom Party, led by Herbert Kickl, won 29% of the vote, but all other parties have ruled out forming a coalition with them. President Van der Bellen emphasized that it is not sufficient for a party to reach a certain percentage to form government, and instead called for talks between the OVP and Social Democrats.
