FPÖ breaks coalition negotiations: Red lines exceeded with security!

In a dramatic step, the coalition negotiations between the FPÖ and the ÖVP have found an abrupt end. At a hastily convened press conference, FPÖ general secretary Christian Hafenecker expressed that his party was ready to compromise in various areas, but in the crucial questions about security, asylum and migration, the limits were reached. "We cannot allow all central security areas to remain in the ÖVP hand," said Hafenecker, who himself was involved in the negotiations. Its critical judgment about the ÖVP is clear: Despite "good and fair offers", the People's Party did not want to go this course and was interested in questions of power and postschachers alone. According to Nachrichten.at , the FPÖ is now determined to take on its responsibility and sees the only way out in rapid new elections.

Hafenecker emphasized that the FPÖ could no longer accept the conversations as "sham negotiations". The FPÖ has pronounced the re -escalation of the situation to withdraw the government mandate together with Herbert Kickl and to inform the Federal President. Although election promises and the wishes of their voters were in the foreground, the agreement on asylum and security issues was unreachable. A possible triple coalition of ÖVP, SPÖ and NEOS was rejected by Hafenecker as a "chaotic losing alliance". The focus is now on the upcoming personal explanation of Herbert Kickl, which has been announced for this evening, as reported.
