Coalition negotiations in the Schlinger course: Agree in sight?

Coalition negotiations in the Schlinger course: Agree in sight?

The coalition negotiations between the FPÖ and the ÖVP continue on Tuesday at the highest level. In the afternoon, FPÖ boss Herbert Kickl and ÖVP chairman Christian Stocker will meet in small rounds to continue the discussions. Negotiations had already worsened beforehand, and many decisive points are still open, which has not exactly improved the mood between the parties, like that APA reported.

The business group will also be on Tuesday to discuss specific content points. ÖVP negotiator Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer commented in the "Salzburger Nachrichten" about the prospects of the negotiations and said that the opportunities for an agreement "Fifty-Fifty" were. This is due to the fact that many open negotiation points remain, which an agreement currently seems questionable. "Either it will be something or it won't work," warned Hattmannsdorfer and made it clear that everything else would be "dubious" at the moment, as he was in the Salzburger news noted.

Negotiations on the brink

The meeting of the two party leaders is considered crucial, since it could possibly bring a breakthrough in the stuck discussions. The current state of negotiations leaves many questions open, and failure could have significant consequences for the political landscape. It remains to be seen whether the parties can reach an agreement despite the existing differences.
