REHAMMER in criticism: Is the government on the wrong track?

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - The Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer sees himself exposed to violent criticism from the FPÖ. The FPÖ general secretary Michael Schledlitz said that Nehammer's attempts to differentiate itself from the FPÖ are perceived as a painful staging and his assessment of the government's economic condition is considered inadequate. In an interview, Nehammer tried to blame the Economic Research Institute (WIFO) for the missed financial policy of its black and green coalition, which was interpreted by Schledlitz as a distraction by its own failures, as ots.at reported .

Nehammer, who announced a preliminary decision on the coalition talks between black and red pink on December 12, is under pressure when his party colleagues publicly speak of "sticking points"; especially in terms of economy and taxes. Mikl-Leitner, a prominent figure of the ÖVP, also expressed doubts about the will of the traffic light coalition to reform, which increases the pressure on Nehammer. He has even staged a negotiating interruption with a "wink Smiley" recently and is still optimistic about the coalition talks, which is considered a try by Schledlitz to complain about something positive for himself, while the problems in the country remain unsolved, so Spiegel.de reported .

In his argumentation, Nehammer emphasized that he wanted to find real solutions for the fears of the population that the FPÖ shook. However, Schledlitz counters that these fears are not fueled, but are the sad reality. His statement throws a light on the challenges with which Nehammer is confronted: record debt, impending corn statements and masses of corporate insolvencies that are economically burdened with Austria. The coming weeks will be crucial to see whether Nehammer is able to master the current challenges and take into account the will of the voters.
