Austrian Chancellor Kurz is refusing to give in to coalition partner FPÖ on EU policy, Der Standard observes:

“He himself brought this message to the capitals of the EU with his youthful charisma: his government should be assessed on the basis of the actions of his ministers, and not of the ugly image of an aggressive, xenophobic and divisive party that the FPÖ has had in Europe for years - particularly in the European Parliament. The Freedom Party members are now in the unaccustomed position of having to display good manners if they want to be recognised and taken seriously. ... Added to that Kurz has forced his coalition partner into a straitjacket by assuming responsibility for the entire EU coordination. When in doubt, what he says goes - whatever the FPÖ does.”
