ÖVP and FPÖ in power struggle: negotiations on the scabbard!

Wien, Österreich - The coalition negotiations between the ÖVP and the FPÖ are characterized by violent tensions. Vienna's ÖVP boss Karl Mahrer has recently had sharp criticism of FPÖ boss Herbert Kickl. "With Herbert Kickl, no responsible government work is possible," said Mahrer. He accuses Kickl of taking more care about his own power than the interests of Austria and thus endangering the stability of the government. These allegations are not unfounded, because last week the talks were delayed due to the arguments about the Interior Ministry, as the "Kronen Zeitung" reported.

While the negotiations continued on Tuesday afternoon, Kickl emphasized that the Ministry of the Interior must be in the hands of the FPÖ, as this was a “core competence” of his party. The ÖVP replied that it was about a more stable government, and its chief negotiators demanded clearer positions from the FPÖ. A two -sided concept paper was presented by the ÖVP in order to determine basic lines for future cooperation, in which a clear pro -European positioning and strengthening Austria's resilience are emphasized, according to the press.

challenges and distrust

The negotiations are not only burdened by disagreements about the distribution of department, but also by a deep distrust between the parties. ÖVP boss Christian Stocker expressed that only responsible cooperation was possible, while insiders reported that the basis of trust between the FPÖ and the ÖVP was extremely low. The conversations finally had to be interrupted after the FPÖ presented a list of its requirements, including the Interior Ministry. This also includes demands for other ministries in the finance, EU and cultural sector.

At the moment, the chances of an agreement seem to be uncertain, and the signs indicate that no stable government will come about without significant changes. According to reports, this could put the FPÖ and its negotiating strategies in an unfavorable light, while the ÖVP campaigns for a clear European policy and the protection of the rule of law. It remains to be seen whether it will ultimately come to an agreement, since both sides were still under discussion on Tuesday evening.

The developments in this dramatic political apron are crucial for the future stability of the government, as is both oe24.at href = "https://www.diepresse.com/19351730/oevp-legt-pratzpapel-vor-kickl-härrt-auf-Interior Ministry-Fuer-fpoe"> report the press.
