Austria's far-right candidate bets on old recipe for presidency success

VIENNA, Aug 24 (Reuters) Austria's far-right Freedom Party (FPO) kicked off its campaign for president today with the slogan "Power needs control", seeking to get its candidate Norbert Hofer elected on a promise of toughness after concerns over Europe's migrant crisis.
The FPO successfully challenged the result of a runoff vote in May that Hofer narrowly lost against former Green Party leader Alexander Van der Bellen. The Constitutional Court ordered a re-run, which will take place on Oct 2.
Hofer's slogan is the same as that which in 1992 ensured victory for the current president's predecessor, Thomas Klestil from the conservative People's Party (OVP).
