Austrian presidential hopeful pledges to return Aztec headdress to Mexico

Austrian presidential hopeful pledges to return Aztec headdress to Mexico

Mexico has sought the return of the feather headdress for decades.

It is held at a museum in Vienna, and Austria has said it is too fragile to transport.

Austrian presidential hopeful Gunther Fehlinger-Jahn says he would pursue its return if elected in 2028.

His pledge highlights a wider debate over whether museums should return objects taken from former colonies.
