Coalition crisis in Austria: Neos leave talks - what now?

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - In Austria, the decision of the NEOS to cancel the coalition talks ensures political turbulence. SPÖ federal managing director Klaus RASHEIM criticized the FPÖ sharply and described it as failed: "The FPÖ could have taken responsibility for our country, but is only talking." In the first week of the new federal government, the SPÖ managed to introduce a rental price stop for 2025 that will bring hundreds of thousands of Austrian households savings of 138 million euros. This quick implementation illustrates that the SPÖ provides results while the FPÖ is caught in political lethargy, so rarely.

political blame

While the SPÖ argues against the FPÖ, the ÖVP sees the fault for failure in the SPÖ itself, as its general secretary Christian Stocker explained. He emphasized that the backward -oriented forces of the SPÖ had undermined a constructive dialogue. Kickl from the FPÖ vehemently demands the resignation of Chancellor Karl Nehammer and sees the "barrel that was finally overflowed" in the NEOS return. Neos itself is also criticized and referred to as a "9 percent party", which is not willing to take responsibility.

The political fronts harden: Neos, SPÖ and FPÖ are blamed for each other. For Werner Kogler, Vice Chancellor of the Greens, it is a "acting" that requires further education. The KPÖ spokesman also criticizes that the concerns of the citizens about rental costs and fears of existence did not play a role in the negotiations. The debate about the formation of a stable government in Austria remains exciting, since the parties are getting stuck in their positions, as meinbezirk.at
