The built-up has been going on for quite a while,but as far as we know not much of that actually happened in terms of offensive presumedthey will do some kind of softening-out bombardment.

Possibly with a slight advantage to Alexander Van der Bellenbut as I say so close that is really impossible to tell at the moment. We also saw just quiteinteresting in the breakdown of the vote lots of support for Alexander Van der Bellen of theGreen in big cities, but lots of support for Norbert Hofer in the countryside.
