Meet the conservative, maybe populist, millennial who could run Austria

Just months after France made history by electing a President in his thirties, Emmanuel Macron, yet another European nation is also poised to also put a young leader in charge.

Thirty-one year old Sebastian Kurz, leader of Austria’s center-right People’s Party (OVP), is on track to win Sunday’s national elections. In doing so, he will become the only millennial serving as the elected leader of a nation on the world stage. But the path Kurz is taking to his nation’s highest office looks quite different from that of Macron, and highlights just how important populism has become these days to forming political coalitions that include the young.
