Congratulating Van der Bellen, EU Council President Donald Tusk said “the continued constructive contribution of Austria to finding common European solutions and keeping our European unity will remain essential.”
In Germany, top opposition Green leader Simone Peter called Sunday’s result “a good day for Austria and Europe.”
“The right-wing rabble-rousers have to be stopped!” Peter declared.
The election Sunday was a rerun of a vote in May that Van der Bellen narrowly won. Austria’s Constitutional Court ordered the repeat following a court ruling after Hofer’s Freedom Party claimed widespread voting irregularities.
