NEOS dispute comes to a head: decisive general meeting on Sunday!
In a tense political climate, FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl expressed his surprise at the presentation of the black-red-pink government program. In his opinion, it is premature to speak of an actual government program until an official government has been formed. Kickl expressed this loudly via Platform This approval is expected on Sunday at a much-needed general meeting of the NEOS, where a two-thirds vote is necessary for the adoption of the coalition pact, as shown on kleinezeitung.at reported.
However, when the government program was presented, party leaders Christian Stocker from the ÖVP, SPÖ leader Andreas Babler and NEOS leader Beate Meinl-Reisinger sounded optimistic. They expressed confidence that their base will agree on Sunday, despite the internal disputes within the SPÖ, where the power struggle for the posts continues to rage fiercely. Kickl even described the situation as an “open attempt at blackmail” with regard to the NEOS base meeting. The outcome of this meeting could set the tone for the future formation of a government, which could affect the political landscape of Austria, including the reporting by orf.at.
