FPÖ and ÖVP: Coalition negotiations are on the brink!

Wien, Österreich - In today's edition of Exxpress Live , the political situation in Austria is hotly discussed. At 7:30 a.m. Volker Piesczek Laura Sachlehner from the ÖVP and Exxpress other editor Eva Schütz welcomes. The coalition negotiations between the FPÖ and ÖVP, which have recently become stalled due to violent differences, come into focus again. The talks at the chief level between Christian Stocker (ÖVP) and Herbert Kickl (FPÖ) are to be continued at Van der Bellen this week. In view of the increasing pressure to continue cooperation, the question arises: Are there practical alternatives to the current coalition?

Financial issues and creative funding

Another hot topic in the discussion is state cultural promotion in Vienna. Millions of euros of taxpayers flow into projects that appear questionable, such as in performances for pets or in pornographic films. It remains questionable whether such expenses serve the ideology or the broad art scene in Austria. In addition to culture, there is also the current economic situation in the room, which is faced with an impending bankruptcy wave. The plans to limit asylum applications in the EU, which again reached over a million in the previous year, are closely under the closer look. In the election campaign, Herbert Kickl promised not to accept a single application for asylum in Austria and thus the question arises whether Austria can also implement this promise without the approval of the EU.

The debate about security, finance and European cooperation is of great importance and is being made by political scientist Ralph Schöllhammer and financial combinations Gerald Zmuegg in the next broadcast of Exxpress live . The coalition between the FPÖ and ÖVP and the associated political framework is therefore at the top of the political agenda of Austria.
