Austrian far-right leader agrees on budget cuts, moving towards first post-WWII far-right-led government.

Austrian far-right leader Herbert Kickl and his conservative coalition partners have agreed on a budget plan to save €6.3 billion, aiming to reduce the country's deficit below the EU's 3% limit without new taxes. This marks a significant step towards forming Austria's first post-WWII far-right-led government, though negotiations could take weeks or months. Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg is now interim chancellor.
