New government team under Chancellor Stocker: Will the coalition hold?

Wien, Österreich - On March 3, 2025, the new federal government of Stocker was praised in Vienna. This coalition, consisting of the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP), the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) and Neos, represents a historical renewal, since it has been the first government in which three parties have been involved since 1947. The party internal committees of the ÖVP and SPÖ had already approved the coalition program on February 28, while Neos carried out a coordination with an overwhelming consent of 94.13 %, as wikipedia reported.

Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen directed the ceremony with the words: "Stubborn alone does not make a government" and wished the new government every success. ÖVP boss Christian Stocker said he wanted to be Chancellor for all Austrians, not only for his voters. The new SPÖ vice-chancellor Andreas Babler expressed his passion for service to the country and the people, while Beate Meinl-Reisinger from Neos spoke about the motivation of her government participation and emphasized that she wanted to do everything to leave her children a better Austria. In the middle of personal congratulations, skepticism was expressed, as cited by Burgenland's governor Hans Peter Doskozil, who expressed doubts about the stability of the government.

The new government has already announced plans for a quick change of course in migration policy. Christian Stocker showed through: "Immediately now means now." In addition, the reorganization of the ministries is expected, which will have a significant administrative change, since some ministries have been praised for the time being without assigned tasks. Eva-Maria Holzleitner, the new Minister of Women, confidently introduced herself as a feminist and underlined the goal of further promoting gender equality.

leaders such as the former Chancellor Karl Nehammer and the former Vice Chancellor Werner Kogler also commented on the new government, whereby Nehammer wished his successor every success and Kogler humorously alluded to the architecture of the government building. This new coalition is of crucial importance for future politics in Austria and is faced with the challenge of being able to persecute a clear agenda in order to survive in the political landscape, such as Vol.at
