The leader of Austria's far-right Freedom Party (FPO) pledged on Friday to win this weekend's parliamentary election in what would be a historic first.
Doggedly keeping grievances about immigration in focus, Kickl's FPO has had a clear lead in polls for more than a year, helped by voters' frustration with inflation above the European Union average and Austria 's misfiring economy.

"This time we will be number 1," he said, underscoring the fact that it would be the first time the party founded in the 1950s had won a parliamentary election. It secured its first national victory this year when it beat the OVP by less than a percentage point in June's European election.
