ÖVP and FPÖ before new negotiations: Who will be the winner?

In the middle of turbulent negotiations in Austria, the Freedom Party (FPÖ) raises sharp allegations against the Conservative People's Party (ÖVP). Martin Antauer, the FPÖ's security and asylum speaker in Lower Austria, criticizes the ÖVP for its "unrealistic demands" after the coalition talks between the two parties have failed. "The post -horny people's party then deliberately moved in the cock," emphasizes Antauer and refers to her claim that you don't play with Austria. As can be seen from the article of APA-OTS, Antauer announces that despite the setbacks, the FPÖ remains determined to represent the interests of the population and not be intimidated by the ÖVP.

The discussion about the coalition formation comes at a critical time, since the FPÖ overtook the ÖVP with almost 29 percent in the last parliamentary election, which only achieved 26 percent. Despite this turn, negotiations with other parties had not yet fertilized, so that interim head of the ÖVP, Christian Stocker, is now willing to speak again with the FPÖ. But conditions have to be fulfilled before a meeting occurs, as reports Tageschau.de The FPÖ, in turn, requires the ÖVP to be aware of its responsibility for the tense economic conditions in Austria.

The tensions between the two parties are clearly noticeable. The new ÖVP boss Stocker makes clear demands, including a commitment to the EU and freedom of the press, while there is a rather offensive tone from the ranks of the FPÖ. Antauer even pulls a drastic metaphor: "If you give a black mandate, you have to check immediately whether you don't miss two or three fingers", which illustrates the distrust of the ÖVP. This dangerous game between the parties could have serious effects on the political landscape in Austria, the negotiations should continue to fail.

In the current Situation, the FPÖ has a strong starting position, especially before the surveys they see at 35 percent, while the ÖVP only drops to 20 percent. In view of these figures, it remains to be seen whether and when the first round of conversation between the two parties will take place, and whether a coalition actually comes about that could have a lasting impact on the political orientation of the country.
