New attempt to form a government in Austria: Van der Bellen speaks to Kickl
In Austria, an important political meeting is expected that could set the decisive course for future government formation. Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen will meet with FPÖ boss Herbert Kickl today. According to Lippewelle is expected that van der Bellen Kickl is to commission a new government. This step takes place after the coalition negotiations between the parties ÖVP, SPÖ and NEOS have failed after six weeks due to the content of the differences.
Kickl vaguely commented on the current political situation on social media. Despite an election victory three months ago, the FPÖ was initially excluded by coalition talks. However, the ÖVP has now announced that they are available for discussions about a possible coalition with the FPÖ. These discussions could result in agreement in economic, asylum and education policy, while there are considerable differences in the areas of EU, foreign and security policy. Another challenge is the unclear strategy to cope with the upcoming budget crisis, which Austria presents the need to avoid an EU deficit procedure.
political upheavals and new elections in the room
Chancellor Karl Nehammer announced his resignation, but remains in office for the time being, while Christian Stocker, the previous general secretary of the ÖVP, takes over the party leadership. Ex-Chancellor Sebastian Kurz will not be available as a successor for Nehammer. Van der Bellen has emphasized and criticized the importance of a capable and stable government that voices within the ÖVP that rejected collaboration with Kickl have become quieter.
like zdf reported, the ÖVP does not conclude with the FPÖ and could possibly strive for a government coalition. In the coming week, Nehammer will decide who will take over the office of Chancellor in a transitional government. In addition, new elections are possible as a possible alternative in the room, but could only take place in about three months. Opinion researchers expect the FPÖ to win even more clearly at such an event.
