On Wednesday, the Freedomers (FPÖ) rejected the proposal for the division of department presented by the ÖVP, which questions the future of the coalition talks. The FPÖ chairman Herbert Kickl continues to emphasize the need to take over the key departments inner and finance, while the ÖVP under its new interim boss Christian Stocker adheres to the preservation of these ministries. These differences could be crucial for the progress of the discussions, as news.orf.at reported.

The situation is tense: the President of the Salzburg Chamber of Commerce, Buchmüller, urgently demanded clarity for more than a month of negotiations. "If you do not reach any agreement here, the conversations should be canceled early," he pointed out. There is clear demands for a stable political climate, and the possibility of new elections is in the room. The political actors seem to be aware of this, as Buchmüller made it clear: "If you believe the media reports, then we are close to it," said his assessment.
