Austria-election after supporting the FPÖ-Nehammer grants concessions and exploratory law

The political landscape in Austria is in a field of tension after the elections, which is characterized by surprising concessions from the ÖVP to the FPÖ. Chancellor Nehammer expressed the willingness to accept exploratory talks and to negotiate parliamentary posts for the party after the FPÖ's election victory. This could play the FPÖ an important role in government formation, although a direct coalition with Kickl remains excluded.

A potential third partner for government formation could be the NEOS, which emerged as a liberal party with nine percent of the votes from the elections. However, cooperation with the Greens appears rather unlikely in view of the previous disputes in the current government coalition.

The key players in this political landscape are trying to draw clear lines. The mighty Mayor of Vienna Ludwig is accessible to a coalition with the ÖVP as long as certain conditions are met. At the same time, the FPÖ's negotiation teams are already in the starting blocks, with a proximity to the "identity movement" and extremely right -wing ideologies.

The current developments in Austria promise an intensive period of political negotiations and could have far -reaching effects on government formation and the political climate of the country. However, there is also resistance to a possible government participation of the FPÖ, which leads to the first announced demonstrations. It remains to be seen how the political landscape in Austria will develop in the coming weeks. (Source: merkur.de ) )
