Austria descended into political disarray over the weekend following Chancellor Karl Nehammer's surprise resignation, a step likely to lead to the far-right Freedom Party taking control of the government for the first time.
A lurch to the right in Vienna would further threaten the stability of the EU at a perilous moment, creating a Russia-friendly, Eurosceptic populist bloc in the centre of the continent, encompassing Hungary, Slovakia and Austria, with Czechia poised to join after elections in the autumn.
That would be welcome news to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, who has sought to use his Central European allies – albeit with mixed results – to sow division in the EU over the war in Ukraine.
