Etniczność jako instrument oddziaływania społecznego w polityce Wolnościowej Partii Austrii
Ethnicity according to the Austrian Freedom Party

Summary/Abstract: Austria belongs to countries with a stable party system. The Social Democratic Party of Austria (Sozialdemokratische Partei Österreichs/SPÖ) and the Austrian People’s Party (Österreichische Volkspartei/ÖVP) play a key role. The Austrian Freedom Party (Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs/FPÖ) is the formation which in the last dozen or so years has been increasingly accentuating its presence on the Austrian political scene. This article is an attempt to show the reasons for the current electoral successes of the Austrian Freedom Party and their consequences. The analysis undertaken in the article will allow verification of the thesis, according to which the party of today’s successes owes above all to the slogans directed against national minorities and immigrants, thus referring to the ethnic homogeneity of the Austrian nation.
