Exciting developments in Styrian politics: Blau-Rot alliance in sight?

The political landscape in Styria faces possible changes, since voices occur within the SPÖ to enter into a coalition with the FPÖ. Leobner SPÖ mayor Kurt Wallner is particularly emphasized as the advocate of this idea. After officials on the state party executive Green Light for negotiations with Mario Kunasek from the FPÖ, the talks begin today.

The SPÖ and the FPÖ could therefore enter into an unusual alliance, which would not be a premiere. Already in the past there have been similar cooperation at the state level, as in Burgenland under Hans Niessl or in Carinthia with the so-called "Chianti coalition" between the SPÖ and Jörg Haider.

Despite the possible realignment of the political forces in Styria, it is important to emphasize that cooperation between blue and red would not be a clear premiere. The political landscape has seen unconventional coalitions in the past, which occasionally broke again. It remains to be seen how the current negotiations develop and whether the political situation in Styria will actually change.
