Ampel coalition breaks: Nehammer under fire after Neos retreat!

Wien, Österreich - Power struggle in Austrian politics reaches a new highlight. After just under 100 days, the attempt to forge a coalition between Neos, ÖVP and SPÖ has failed spectacularly. As Today , the NEOS withdrawn from the negotiations under the leadership of Beate Meinl-Reisinger. In an emotional statement, she thanked Chancellor Karl Nehammer, but left Andreas Babler cold. The resignation was referred to by the FPÖ as a "political miscarriage", with Secondary Secretary Michael Schleditz accused the ÖVP boss of only securing his own chancellery without taking the concerns seriously.

Chancellor Karl Nehammer sees the situation more differentiated. In a press conference, such as reported the press , he emphasized that the "radical forces" would have taken himself out of the game. While the exploratory talks with the SPÖ began on Friday, Nehammer is concerned about a planned demonstration on November 9th. This should take place against a coalition without the FPÖ and is objectified by it as a "outrageous provocation" because it alludes to a historical day that is dedicated to the victims of National Socialism.

The call to unit

Nehammer was commissioned to form the government and is now trying to bring stability back to the government. He wants to deal with all parties, even with those who do not trust him with the election. The criticism of the FPÖ and its actions becomes louder, on the part of the SPÖ and the Greens there was also harsh criticism to the planned demo, which is considered an attempt to stir up tensions in society. Nehammer emphasizes that Austria needs a stable government to master the challenges of the future and appeals to the political competitors to take responsibility.
