As someone in Austria you can confirm that this is a major political party in the country and that meeting with them is not, even remotely, analogous to meeting with the Klan or white power Nazi's.  The article certainly tries to steer the reader's opinion in that direction.  To use an example that more are familiar with, would you consider them to the left or right of Front National, or about the same?  My opinion would be that they are very similar.

I agree with everything you said here. 

(And I'd also go with "similar" regarding FN.)
