Austria Appears Poised to Shift to the Right

• Austria appears poised to shift to the right in a snap parliamentary election on Sunday. The center-right People’s Party led by Sebastian Kurz, the 31-year-old foreign minister, above, is ahead in polls. He could form a new government with the far-right Freedom Party.
