In a move that has sparked both relief and concern, Austria’s three leading centrist parties have reached an agreement to form a coalition government without the far-right Freedom Party, the leading vote-getter in recent elections.

The new government is expected to address voter concerns and potentially prevent a resurgence of the Freedom Party in the future.
