Failure of the government negotiations: FPÖ calls for new elections!

Vienna, Österreich - The government negotiations between the FPÖ and the ÖVP have failed, which caused FPÖ boss Herbert Kickl to cover the government formation. This was the end of the second attempt to form a new federal government. According to a FPÖ's disposal, the negotiations were "ultimately not crowned success". Kickl blamed the ÖVP for failure because it was not ready to compromise in many points. In his eyes, it was not surprising that the FPÖ demanded the key departments in the areas of security and asylum, which are of central importance for the party, while the ÖVP insisted on non -negotiable departments such as the Interior Ministry, such as vienna.at .

political options for the future

Federal President Van der Bellen announced that he will have talks with the parties in the coming days after he was informed about failure. Various options were discussed, including new elections, a minority government, an expert government or even the formation of a majority of government among the elected parties. Van der Bellen also criticized that "the compromise was discredited" and called on the politicians to concentrate on the entire welfare.
