Kickl about coalition negotiations: ÖVP insists on power games!

In a heated exchange of blows between the FPÖ and the ÖVP, the accusation of "voter fraud" is loud. FPÖ general secretary Christian Hafenecker criticized the ÖVP sharply after Herbert Kickl had accused of not representing the interests of the party. Hafenecker emphasized that the FPÖ wanted to negotiate in the interests of the population, while the ÖVP is only looking for its own advantages. He accused the People's Party to only use its bogus negotiations to distract from his own failures and to get rid of the former party chairman Nehammer. According to the Hafenecker, the real face of the ÖVP shows itself through past intrigue and unclear intentions, in particular with regard to planned measures such as the import of third -country nationals and the increase in the statutory retirement age, as well as to Exxpress.at .

conflict about ministries and power balance

Kickl made it clear that the FPÖ could not make any concessions in discussions about security -related topics such as asylum and migration. The FPÖ sees these core issues as non -negotiable, while the ÖVP demanded its own Ministry of Asylum, which Kickl found "unusable". Both parties are now in a difficult power struggle that could have an impact on future government formation. Kickl did not rule out that the ÖVP could return its ministries to the SPÖ again if it successfully ends the talks. During the political uncertainty, the FPÖ urges new elections, hoping for a clear majority after being cut off in the last election.
