Coalition crisis: Will there be an agreement between the FPÖ and ÖVP today?

The next crucial meeting between FPÖ boss Herbert Kickl and ÖVP chairman Christian Stocker is on Tuesday afternoon. According to the latest information vienna.at The coalition negotiations between the two parties have recently reached a critical phase. Despite the tense mood, it is not yet possible to estimate whether significant progress has been made. A high-level meeting on Monday apparently did not produce the hoped-for results, so talks remain tense.

Meanwhile, the economic group, which is part of the content subgroups, meets. The negotiations are central to establishing the umbrella of the coalition. How orf.at reported, ÖVP negotiator and Economic Chamber General Secretary Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer estimates the probability of an agreement at “fifty-fifty”. There are still open negotiation points that urgently need to be clarified. “Either it will be something or it will be nothing,” said Hattmannsdorfer, showing the urgency of the situation.

Given the still unresolved points of contention, the question remains whether the FPÖ and ÖVP can ultimately reach an agreement. Political tensions appear to be increasing as time for a decision runs out.
