Ex-Chancellor Schüssel warns: politics must work together!

In Austrian politics, it rumbles tremendously: former Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel has commented on the tense relationships between the ÖVP and the FPÖ. While a possible coalition lies in the air between the two parties, Schüssel warns to a well -founded cooperation in parliament. He reminds that successful coalitions with various parties were also established in the past. "In the past, it has always succeeded with green, with blue, with turquoise, with red, with black. That was good for us too," said the former Chancellor. This was taken up by steiermark.orf.at , which reported on Schüssels warning to politics.

The challenge of the coalition

The relationship between ÖVP and FPÖ is on the brink, and the question of whether the first blue-black coalition becomes reality is concerned. Schüssel, which even led a coalition with the FPÖ under Jörg Haider, recognizes the concerns of the people, but emphasizes that they can be invalidated by information. "I don't think you have to have fundamental concerns about our country," he said. This refers to topics such as Europe, pension insurance and the economy, which he describes as not insoluble.

The FPÖ could provide Herbert Kickl the first free chancellor of the Second Republic - a development that would significantly change the political landscape. However, Schüssel demands an open discussion and cooperation between the democratic parties to continue to lead Austria well in the future. This reflects the growing tensions and possibilities within Austrian domestic policy, such as OE24.at
