Turquoise-blue government in Vorarlberg? FPÖ on the rise
There are signs of political change in Vorarlberg that could potentially lead the country into a new government constellation. The FPÖ achieved a clear success in the state elections last Sunday, receiving 28 percent of the vote. This corresponds to an increase of 14 percentage points compared to the previous election.
The ÖVP and FPÖ have now announced that they will hold exploratory talks to examine the possibility of a turquoise-blue state government in Vorarlberg. If collaboration were to occur, Vorarlberg would be the fourth federal state in Austria with such a constellation.
The ÖVP has ruled Vorarlberg alone for the last twelve years, but the current election results suggest that the political structure in the country could change. The FPÖ sees itself as a potential coalition partner and intends to actively participate in shaping state politics.
The upcoming exploratory talks will show whether the ÖVP and the FPÖ can find common ground for government cooperation. The developments in Vorarlberg are therefore eagerly awaited, as they could have a significant impact on political events in the state.
