Austria's far-right, anti-immigration Freedom Party (FPO) holds a narrow lead over the conservative OVP in the run-up to the country's September 29 general election. The vote comes amid growing concerns in the migrant community over the FPO's agenda, which includes curbing immigration and deporting migrants residing in the country. While no party is expected to win enough seats for an absolute majority, the historic vote could see the FPO win a national election for the first time in postwar Austria.
