Government chaos in Austria: New elections required after failed negotiations!

Oberösterreich, Österreich - , including the dramatic failure of the government negotiations between the FPÖ and the ÖVP, looks at Upper Austria for an uncertain future. FPÖ chairman Herbert Kickl covered the government education mandate to Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen on Wednesday after a last meeting with ÖVP leader Christian Stocker and assumes an "honest regret" with regard to the failed formation of a civil rights government, such as orf.at reported. Governor Thomas Stelzer (ÖVP) in particular was disappointed and underlined the serious economic situation that a more stable government would do more than ever. He emphasized that the ÖVP tried to find constructive solutions during the negotiations, but could not take place at any price.

Manfred Haimbuchner, deputy governor and FPÖ politician, sees the fault for failure at the ÖVP, which in his opinion could not leave stuck thinking patterns. Haimbuchner therefore demands rapid new elections to give the citizens a voice about the actions of the parties in the past few months and is convinced that the FPÖ would emerge from such a process as meindezirk.at reported. Even the opposition's reactions are not long in coming: the Greens see the failure as an opportunity to form a stable government, and the NEOS are happy that the republic stayed from a "standstill government".

The negotiations ultimately failed, since the FPÖ was on the Interior Ministry and other central agendas, while the ÖVP preferred a broader division of department. These disagreements meant that the talks could not be continued, and the political actors are now calling for new elections to find a way out of the current political blockade. The drama of this political game of the powers causes the time to penetrate and the question arises: what is going on in Austria?
