Coalition crisis: Interior Ministry remains the point of dispute between FPÖ and ÖVP!

The political situation remains tense in Vienna: The coalition negotiations between the ÖVP and FPÖ could be crucial for the future of the government. A meeting of the chief negotiators on Monday apparently did not make any progress, especially in the disputed question of the occupation of the Interior Ministry. The negotiators left the meeting room without comment, while the uncertainty grew among the waiting journalists, such as vienna.at reported.

The tricky contract poker

The Ministry of the Interior remains the central point of dispute in the talks, after a one and a half hour meeting that did not bring any clear progress. Christian Stocker, the ÖVP boss, describes the negotiations as critical because it is not only about departments of department, but also about basic content. The FPÖ has already made demands, including the inner and finance department, but the ÖVP signals that it is not willing to give up both. The hope of an agreement continues to be in the air, as there are further discussions on Tuesday, as reported by Despite the current standstill and the differences regarding the distribution of department, there are some signs of possible compromises. The FPÖ could offer the ÖVP the Foreign Ministry, which could be an interesting turn for the ÖVP. However, the question remains whether a division of the Ministry of the Interior, which provides for a separation of asylum and security agents, can actually be realized. Constitution experts have already pointed out that such a division would be legally possible, but the efficiency of the government could suffer.

With the conversations in front of the door, the political mood remains excited. The ÖVP tries to form a government capable of acting, while the FPÖ reacts more relaxed to developments. Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen has announced that it would be prepared for all possible scenarios, since the negotiations could run in both successful and less fruitful directions.
