Viennese election threatens to be brought forward: FPÖ demands urn gang in the federal government!

In Austria, the political landscape is under pressure because the NEOs have got out of the coalition negotiations with the SPÖ and ÖVP. After weeks of conversations and 96 days since the National Council election on September 29, 2024, the NEOs made their decision, which makes political discussions about a triple coalition significantly more complicated. Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen has already cited SPÖ boss Andreas Babler and ÖVP boss Karl Nehammer to the Hofburg to discuss the situation. Now the two former major parties are faced with the challenge that they first have to negotiate alone, which could lead to uncertain results, such as profile.at reported.

New elections in the room

As part of the Vienna elections, which are planned for autumn 2025, there are already considerations to put together the urns with a group election. This was suggested by Vienna's FPÖ boss Dominik Nepp, who also addressed the financial savings in times of scarce budgets. In the past, there has already been a preliminary laying of the election in 2001, which the SPÖ gave an unexpected absolute majority. The political tensions in the federal government have a direct impact on the upcoming Viennese elections this year, which makes the situation even more explosive than oe24.at determined.

While the SPÖ is trying to continue negotiations with the ÖVP, there are always louder voices within the ÖVP that stand up against Karl Nehammer. Internally, withdrawal rumors are already loud, which further fueled the 정치적 uncertainty. There are also concerns about a possible cooperation with the FPÖ, although the freedoms hope for a cooperation. However, such an option for the SPÖ remains extremely unlikely, since the party leadership has a crystal -clear decision against working with the extreme right. In the current situation, it is completely unclear how the strategy of the SPÖ and the further steps of the ÖVP could look.
