Sebastian Kurz, at 31, is set to become Europe's youngest leader after winning the Austrian legislative elections. Known as the Wunderwutzi, Kurz revitalized his party and ended a decade-long alliance with the social democrats, leading to early elections. His party secured 30.2% of the votes, surpassing the far-right Freedom Party of Austria, led by Heinz-Christian Strache, who is now a key figure in forming the government. The social democrats, winners of the 2013 elections, received 26.3% of the votes. Kurz attracted conservatives with a modern image, tax cut promises, and a firm stance on immigration. Austria, a prosperous nation of 8.7 million, has welcomed many migrants, sparking debates on integration and social costs.
