Government crises overcome: This is how the new coalition starts in the future!
In a crucial turn for Austrian politics, the new triple coalition from the ÖVP, SPÖ and Neos was officially praised today in the Arsenal in Vienna. Led by ÖVP Chancellor Christian Stocker and Vice Chancellor Andreas Babler from the SPÖ, the ministerial posts are filled with a large number of political representatives. This includes Gerhard Karner (Interior), Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer (economy), Klaudia Tanner (defense) and Norbert Tettschnig (agriculture and environmental protection) from the ranks of the ÖVP. The SPÖ sends Markus Marterbauer (finance) and Anna Sporrer (justice) to the government, while for the Neos Beate Meinl-Reisinger (exterior) and Christoph Return (education) as minister. Three State Secretaries of the ÖVP and SPÖ and a State Secretary of the NEOs are also integrated into the new government, such as vienna.at reported.
The approval of the coalition was achieved in a general meeting of the NEOS in the balloon hall of the Vienna Arsenal with an overwhelming 94.13 percent. Neos boss Beate Meinl-Reisinger spoke of a "historical moment" for her team during the coordination and emphasized the importance of thinking beyond the limits of politics and short-term election results. "Nothing will change without us!" She said in a passionate speech. Christoph Return, who will act as Minister of Education, warned: "This will be hard what is standing in front of us", and appealed to the members of wanting to implement the party's visions, as reported.
As part of the handover of the office, the outgoing interim chancellor Alexander Schallenberg will hand over the Chancellery to Christian Stocker. The government declaration in the National Council should follow on Friday. A remarkable aspect is that the NEOS team can now look proud of their result even in times of past negotiations that were initially assessed critically. "We are well trained," added the return optimistically and made it clear that future negotiations with the ÖVP and SPÖ will only really begin. The broad reactions to the NEOS decision include criticism from the FPÖ, which described the new coalition partner as "pink support wheels", which indicates tensions and challenges for the new government.
