How can Merkel recover?

Congratulations to Austria. The world seems to be slowly going back to normal

It's a good time to live .

There's only one way to make sure this doesn't happen again. Hunger games for liberals

It's incredibly close atm but BBC don't seem to care about this historical moment. Ugh.

He lost to the Green Party candidate, Bellen(d).

Sigh.

How can he lose..the topic acts like he already won.

rumours of election rigging. Some polls show a 146% turnout out after postal voting.

Demanding recount is happening.

Not yet confirmed or concluded.

Ah, I see. Thanks. By the by, is the supposed rigging in Hoffer's favour?

I mean, the election is marginal by ~1% so it really could go either way.

Despite XYZ's silly antics, it seems Hoffer lost in a very close race:

VIENNA — Alexander Van der Bellen, a 72-year-old economics professor and former Green Party leader, won Austria’s cliffhanger presidential election on Monday, defeating his far-right rival by the slimmest of margins and pledging to unite the divided country.

Austria had to wait almost 24 hours after polls closed on Sunday for the authorities to count almost 700,000 valid mail-in ballots. In the end, Mr. Van der Bellen won 50.3 percent of the vote, and his far-right rival, Norbert Hofer, 49.7 percent, a difference of just over 30,000 votes, the Interior Ministry said.

Mr. Hofer conceded defeat on his Facebook page, writing: “Of course I am sad today. I would so gladly have taken care of our wonderful country for you as president.” He added, “The effort for this campaign is not lost, but an investment in the future.”

No, he shall be president.

Maybe in the next election cycle, but not this one. Hofer conceded defeat to a Green Party Lefty. LolZ.
