Styrian government formation: FPÖ and ÖVP approach the final agreement!

Graz, Österreich - In Styria, profound political changes are imminent, since the Freedom Party (FPÖ) gains the upper hand after an outstanding election victory in the state election on November 24th with 34.76 percent. Mario Kunasek is expected to be the new governor and has agreed on a coalition together with the ÖVP, as OE24.at . The coalition program is to be presented on Tuesday, while the bodies of the parties involved are preparing for the final departmental setting.

The first information indicates that the departments should be divided between FPÖ and the ÖVP in a ratio of four to four. This is remarkable because the FPÖ clearly won the choice and would therefore receive the same number of departments as the ÖVP, which is considered election losers with 26.81 percent of the votes and 13 mandates. The planned government program is entitled "Strong Styria, Safe Future" and includes several important points such as a new payment card for asylum seekers and a mandatory pre -school year for children with poor knowledge of German. In addition, a "Masterplan Care" is to be developed to strengthen the business location, such as vorarlberg.orf also mentioned.

At the same time, the Styrian SPÖ is preparing for a change of management. After the resignation of the previous state chairman Anton Lang, Max Lercher will take the head of the SPÖ, which is becoming more important against the background of a dramatic election drop. This resignation and the following press conference underline the continuing challenges with which the opposition is faced. Styria is therefore on the threshold of a new political chapter that will be shaped by the clear demands of the FPÖ.
