VIENNA — At age 31, Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz is poised to become the first millennial to lead a European country following his party’s victory in a national election Sunday.

While no party won a majority, the telegenic Kurz is most likely to be sworn in as Austria’s next chancellor — and Europe’s youngest leader — after the tough coalition government negotiations that lie ahead.

Near-final results from Sunday’s balloting put his People’s Party comfortably in first place, with 31.4 percent of the vote. The right-wing Freedom Party came in second with 27.4 percent. The center-left Social Democratic Party of Austria, which now governs in coalition with People’s Party, got 26.7 percent.

He'll be labeled “far right” by the European press (a favorite label of theirs) because he believes that borders mean something.

Right-wing versus Center-left.
Media speak for nutcases vs. sensible.

The subtle nudge of higher math and logic will escape the average New Yorker.

Jeremy Irons portrayed a “blue-eyed” Aryan in Die Hard with a Vengeance, even though he has light brown eyes.

Blue eyed is media code for white supremacist. I am surprised Trump supporters haven’t been described this way ..or maybe I missed it.

Blue eyes? The horror! Light-colored eyes, predominantly blue, are the norm among ethnic Germans, Slavs, Scandinavians, Irish and I am sure many other ethnicities. I am pretty sure that most ethnic Austrians have blue eyes or at least a heck of a lot of them.
