New elections threaten: coalition talks in chaos - what now?

Austrian politics is facing a crucial turning point, since the coalition negotiations between the ÖVP, SPÖ and Neos have failed. If the second attempts to form the coalition formation between the ÖVP and SPÖ do not produce a sustainable compromise, the possibility of new elections is becoming increasingly more likely. The FPÖ is ready for a new election process because its survey values ​​are over 30 percent. The first steps towards the new elections include the need for a decision in the National Council, even a clinic can theoretically be dissolved at the government's proposal, but this has never happened before, as vienna.at reported.

The procedure for carrying out the new elections requires careful planning: After the new election decision in the National Council, 82 days must pass between the regulation in the Federal Law Gazette and the election date. The National Council has its next meeting on February 26, but a special meeting could be convened beforehand to address the urgency of the situation. With the previous developments, the earliest possible election day could be in June, possibly on June 1st or 8, such as "https://www.oe24.at/oesterreich/pielplan-eine-neuchelchen-fruehlich-waere/619443989"> Oe24.at emphasized.

consequences and processes

In addition to the political speculation about new elections, the National Council could first have to take a new election decision, which must then be decided by a simple majority. Minority governments could also be considered, but they are associated with a considerable risk, since they may need the opposition's votes to decide on the law. Expert governments are another option, but would only be conceivable as a temporary solution to ensure political stability.

The upcoming decisions have the potential to change the political landscape of Austria decisively, while the talks on future government formation continue. The urgency, especially for the parties involved, will continue to increase in the coming weeks.
