FPÖ and ÖVP: Coalition negotiations after the election victory in Styria!

Steiermark, Österreich - The political landscape in Styria has drastically changed with the clear election victory of the FPÖ under Mario Kunasek on November 24th. The freedomers secured 35 percent of the votes, which corresponds to an impressive plus of 17.5 percentage points compared to the previous choice. In this context, the FPÖ announced that it would enter coalition negotiations with the ÖVP. According to OE24 , this cooperation is sought to do the voter, which brings both parties together to around 62 percent of their votes.

FPÖ makes claims

Kunasek made it clear in the ORF program "ZiB2" that the FPÖ claims the right to the office of the governor: "We are clearly the right to the governor, everything else would be crazy," he clarified. The ÖVP, who fell to 26.8 percent under its new boss Christopher Drexler, has lost its former majority, which makes government formation complicated. Kunasek plans to send invitations to negotiations with the ÖVP tomorrow, while Drexler will ask the question of trust within his party, reports Press .

The background for this coalition talks lies in a new political reality in Styria: the black and red coalition has lost its majority, and the FPÖ is now the strongest force in the state parliament. The negotiations should be completed by December 18 to form a state government that capable of action. In the meantime, the political future of SPÖ boss Anton Lang remains uncertain after his party has achieved a miserable result and the NEOS takes an internal break. The next phase will be exciting and could have far -reaching consequences, both for Styria and federal politics.
