Nehammer: Negotiations in the schedule - dispute normal and important!

The coalition negotiations in Austria ensure tension and discussions. Chancellor Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) has in his podcast "Karl, how are you?" emphasizes that the talks with the SPÖ and the NEOS are still in the time frame. "There is currently no reason to call alarm due to deviations," said Nehammer. Despite more intensive negotiations in other federal states, this does not calm him down because such processes are not comparable. The financial dimensions and the distribution of tasks are various factors that play a role here, such as oe24.at reported.

In the current differences of opinion between the potential coalition partners, Nehammer sees a normal part of the process. "Everything that is now argued is not a dispute in a federal government afterwards," he explains. This phase of discussion is crucial to avoid later conflicts within a possible government. The Chancellor makes a comparison to a "clean marriage contract" and points out that a coalition should never be interpreted as a love relationship. Rather, it is about the cooperation of different partners with a clear goal in terms of the future government program. He sees the responsibility that he and his partners bear as a priority in order to prevent standstill and dispute in the government, as well as news.at reported.
