Political quake in Austria: NEOS rise from coalition talks!
The political landscape in Austria staggered today when the NEOS surprisingly got out of the coalition negotiations with the ÖVP and SPÖ. This led to massive criticism from different sides. The FPÖ general secretary Michael Schledlitz spoke of a "huge pile of shards" that was left behind. In a key message, Schledlitz emphasized that "posts such as the Chancellery were never presented before the interests of Austria", as well as today.
The negotiations in which the parties fought for a reform coalition remained without tangible results. SPÖ boss Andreas Babler continued to see a possibility of working with the ÖVP and announced a meeting with Chancellor Nehammer in the Chancellery. Despite the challenges, BABLER said: "It will be important to bring about majorities on the basis of a good compromise with the government." At the same time, the FPÖ expressed massive allegations against the coalition because it saw the "axis Nehammer and van der Bellen" as failed.
manipulation by the ORF?
In parallel to these political turbulence, the FPÖ media spokesman Christian Hafenecker criticized the ORF program "Report", which reported Corona at the five years. In his view, the edition was an example of "disinformation and one -sidedness" that the ORF propagated. According to Hafenecker, the experts presented are partisan and not independent, as he noticed in his sharp criticism: "The ORF itself has again provided the next valid evidence that the 'forced tax' should be abolished as soon as possible!" These affect not only the reporting on Covid-19 measures, but also the general presentation of political topics, to which point out.summarized a tense situation in the policy of the Alpine Republic, in which existing coalitions are questionable and media reporting is critically questioned. The coming days could play a crucial role in the future design of the government.
