Van der Bellen canceled Ski World Cup-coalition crisis in Vienna?

Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen has canceled his visit to the Ski World Cup in Saalbach, and for a weighty reason! He had planned to follow the exciting women's descent on Saturday, but the ongoing coalition negotiations between the parties are in the way of blue and black. This decision came at short notice that the anticipation for the sporting event has already been clouded, such as OE24 reported .

The Hofburg remains extremely quiet for the background of the cancellation. No comment penetrates what leads to the fact that many speculate: does van der Bellen stay in Vienna to save the possibly impending coalition talks, or does his absence indicate that the first ministerial lists may be presented at the weekend? After all, the Federal President has a veto right in the appointment of ministers, which increases the tensions, such as Kleine Zeitung reported .

The sporting highlights of the Ski World Cup must now take place without the presence of the highest incumbent. Van der Bellen's decision sets the tension in the political landscape of Austria another exclamation mark and shows how closely politics and sport can be intertwined. It remains to be seen how the Situation will develop.
