Coalition dispute: FPÖ and ÖVP on the abyss - what do the Dornbirner say?

Dornbirn, Österreich - FPÖ chairman Herbert Kickl has now covered the order for government formation in the Hofburg and blames the ÖVP for the failure of the coalition negotiations. In his last meeting with VP chairman Christian Stocker there was no agreement, despite the initial willingness to compromise Kickl. "We approached the ÖVP, but there was no clear result," said the FPÖ boss. According to a survey by Vol.at in Dornbirn, the Vorarlberg mixed opinions on the failed negotiations show. While some are calling for another solution, there are also voices that rate the difficulties between the parties as normal.

annoyance between FPÖ and ÖVP

The tensions between the FPÖ and the ÖVP are high. The coalition negotiations have been stagnating for days, and the VP speaks of a "counter -proposal" that the FPÖ vehemently denies. Kickl visited Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen this afternoon, but left the Hofburg without comment. This secrecy leaves the negotiators at a loss: while the FPÖ is waiting for clearer statements by the ÖVP, the dispute over the ministries accelerates, especially those for finances and inners that are of great importance for both parties. According to ÖVP circles, Kickl's ministerial proposal is "unacceptable", which the FPÖ sees as a provocation.

Inner -party communication between FPÖ and ÖVP is also tense. Kickl publicly affirmed the claim of the FPÖ on important ministerial posts, such as finance and European issues, which was surprising in the VP. The ambiguities also rose to other content issues such as foreign policy and media. The bank tax required by the FPÖ is also a controversial point. Both parties currently seem to be in a dead end without making significant progress. The discussions that were considered crucial have so far brought neither clarification nor direction, which further destabilizes the political situation in Austria, as can be seen from the reports of OE24.
