Tyrol's voice falls silent: no participation in exploratory talks
After the National Council election is beaten, negotiations on the formation of a new government are the focus of political interest. In this context, the large parties, the FPÖ, ÖVP and SPÖ, have already set their exploratory teams. But a Tyrolean representation in these crucial negotiations is missing.
in Innsbruck it will now be exciting because negotiations with the party leader at Chancellor Alexander van der Bellen begin. FPÖ boss Herbert Kickl will start on Friday, followed by ÖVP boss Karl Nehammer and SPÖ boss Andreas Babler the following week. The order of these meetings is not accidental, but reflects the strength of the parties in the new National Council.
The absence of Tyrolean politicians
Despite the importance of Tyrol in the political landscape, no Tyrolean politicians are represented in the rounds of the exploratory talks. This is particularly unfortunate because people like Markus Abwerzger, who was proposed as Minister of Justice, and other regionally important figures were not taken into account. The talented Sophia Kircher from the ÖVP and Selma Yildirim from the SPÖ, both politically active, are also missing in the teams. This could influence the perception of Tyrol in the negotiations and his interests at the negotiating table.
In the committees that will make the decisions after the exploratory talks, however, Tyroleans are represented, which is definitely a ray of hope.
The priorities of Tyrolean politics
In parallel to the exploratory talks, the Tyrolean state government worked out a position paper during its autumn exam, which defines Tyrol's role in the competition of the federal states and at European level. This “Tyrol Declaration” aims to illustrate the importance of Tyrol for future political decision-makers. With this eleven -page document, Tirol wants to make it clear that it wants to play a leading role.The current political development shows that the FPÖ emerged as the strongest party according to the election result. It remains to be seen how the coalition negotiations will be. Some think of a possible cooperation between the FPÖ and the ÖVP or SPÖ, whereby a triple coalition with the Greens or Neos cannot be excluded.
Interestingly, government formation could take longer than expected. In the past, political negotiations have often taken months, the record was 129 days. It remains to be seen whether Austria is ready to wait for such a long period of time. This could also influence the strategic direction of the new government, since the requirements of the electorate and the political landscape can change quickly.For further information and a detailed insight into the political developments related to government formation, .
