Political chaos in Austria: Negotiations burst-what now?

Austria is currently in a political crisis after the negotiations for the formation of a new government have failed. Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen has announced that it will have talks with leading politicians in the coming days in order to find alternative solutions. This was announced in a statement in the Hofburg on Wednesday evening. The situation has also covered the Styrian state policy, where representatives of various parties have already expressed their opinions on the failed negotiations, reported steiermark.orf.at.

The Mayor of Gleisdorf, Christoph Stark (ÖVP), was resigned and wishes for peace in the political landscape, while Hartberg's mayor Marcus Martschitsch (ÖVP) warns that new elections could be the worst solution. He appealed to the top candidates to find a consensus to make Austria able to act again. This could be possible signs of a transitional government that could steer the political fortunes for some time. The chairman of the FPÖ Fürstenfeld, Christian Schandor, also expressed his disappointment with the abortion and pleaded for new elections, reported wien.orf.at.

Reactions and perspectives

The opinions of the citizens are mixed by the political situation, especially in relation to the upcoming municipal elections, which, including many, including Mayor Gerald Klein (ÖVP), are not so influenced by the national situation. The discussion about the possibility of a transitional government is in full swing, and the pressure increases on the political leader to start a dialogue again so that the country's political business does not stall. With this uncertain location, Austria's politicians face the challenge of regaining the trust of voters and forming a stable government.
