The end of the Greens: from junior partners to political losers!
Wien, Österreich - The political conditions in Austria take a dramatic turn. After the state election in the Green Mark on November 24, 2024, one of three remaining ÖVP-SPÖ governments was voted out, which fundamentally changed the political landscape. The ÖVP, which had previously led numerous coalitions, now has to work with the FPÖ in Vorarlberg, which further strengthens the dominant black and blue cooperation. This form of coalition, which has existed in other federal states such as Upper Austria and Salzburg for years, has become the most common constellation at the country level. A profound change is therefore in full swing, since the traditionally stronger parties lose their positions, as the Report by vienna.at

The Greens have suffered a number of losses since 2017, and the negotiations for their future in federal politics are now on the brink. With four black and blue coalitions in the countries, a new power structure prevails that will change the political dynamics in Austria.
