Norbert Hofer from Austria's Freedom Party is neck-and-neck with the former Green Party leader Alexander Van der Bellen in the race to become the country's next president. The result will be known later today (23rd May) when postal votes have been counted. There has been much focus on the election as pundits say this could see the first European Union country with a far-right head of state.

But does the Freedom Party agree with that tag - particularly with its connotations with Austria's history? Franz Obermayr is a Freedom Party member and a Member of the European Parliament.
