Power struggles in Austria: FPÖ demands key ministries in the showdown!

Österreich - The power poker between the FPÖ and the ÖVP around the ministerial posts goes into the next round. On Tuesday, February 10, 2025, the talks about the division of important departments were interrupted abruptly. FPÖ boss Herbert Kickl vehemently insists on the finance and interior ministries, which in his view are "important in terms of content", while the ÖVP rejects these claims under its boss Christian Stocker. Sources report that the negotiations are on the "edge of the Abys", which reinforces the urgent need for an agreement, since Austria faces significant challenges. This situation describes the *crown *, in which they outline the disagreements of the two parties and indicates the differences in the signals that have been sent out of the negotiators in the past few days.

The negotiations between the politicians continued on Wednesday, with sub -groups still in discussions. Kickl and his familiarities urge that the FPÖ not only receive control over the claimed ministries, but also remain in its current form. However, the ÖVP critically adheres to its demands and requires assurances in questions of EU policy and dealing with Russia. Cooperation in the media is also an important point. According to * OE24 *, the talks had already experienced a short -term break after Stocker made it clear that he had to inform the party board about the situation.
