NEOS vote: Is the first triple coalition in Austria?

NEOS vote: Is the first triple coalition in Austria?

In Austria, the signs of changes in the political landscape are. As reported orf.at , 2,700 of a total of 3,000 NEOS members are entitled to vote after they have paid their membership fee by February 25. This also includes 300 members from Styria. The membership decision refers to the government participation and a negotiated government package, which will be voted on on Monday at 11:00 a.m. If you cannot be on site in the balloon hall of the Wiener Arsenal, you have the opportunity to dial online, which makes participation easier and thus strengthens the participation of the members.

optimism before voting

Neos boss Beate Meinl Reisinger is confident that the vote will be positive. "We gave ourselves these rules ourselves because I think it is also important to take account of the members," she emphasizes at the start of the municipal council election campaign in Leibnitz. Fiona Fiedler, Member of the National Council and Styrian, also sees the required two -thirds majority as no major hurdle. In constant exchange with the members, she mostly received positive feedback, which strengthens her confidence that possible concerns are easy to clear out.

In the background, the NEOS also plans to differentiate the membership fee for different groups. As can be read on the official website of neos.eu , the standard membership fee is € 84 per year, while in a reduced form for apprentices and students is only € 36. This makes the political participation accessible to a broader basis and could ensure stronger participation in the long term.
