VIENNA—Austria’s conservative leader Sebastian Kurz has brought the right wing populist Freedom Party (FPO) into government, striking a coalition deal he aims to cement with his own party and Austria’s president on Saturday.
The deal on Friday propels Heinz-Christian Strache’s FPO into power for the first time in more than a decade, after both the FPO and Kurz’s People’s Party (OVP) capitalised on Europe’s migrant crisis during an election campaign.
