Hofer—the “friendly face of the FPOe” who likes to carry his Glock gun in public

Does he cook bacon on it?

There is nothing "far right" about the FPO; only the fact that it is against unlimited illiegal immigration makes it so in the eyes of the article writer. These labels like "far right" have been so over-used by biased journalists, they are getting ridiculous.

If voters in the West oppose large-scale immigration on socio-economic grounds or immigration from regions where terrorism is rife on national security grounds, they usually have no mainstream or establishment choices come election time. Both the liberals and the business-friendly conservatives support these policies, while turning a deaf ear to the concerns of a significant number of citizens and ring-fencing the issue from public discussion.

And so: the populist parties are gaining. That's not so hard to figure out, is it.
