"What lasts long will finally be good," said van der Bellen during the swearing -in ceremony. This is not an ordinary coalition, because there has never been such a three -way government in Austria.

These difficult conversations that were the longest in the history of the Republic finally ended with an agreement. According to the reports of krone and Zeit pursued.

The newly founded government is facing great expectations right from the start. The still explosive topics such as the pension situation and the dilapidated state budget require immediate solutions.

People expect the government to have a policy with clear lines, and through the position of Meinl-Reisinger as Foreign Minister, there is hope for strengthening European relationships.
