Politics thriller: FPÖ and ÖVP in the negotiation poker for the Ministry of the Interior!

In a tense political climate, negotiations between the FPÖ and the ÖVP have taken a new turn. The ÖVP today sent the FPÖ a new proposal for the controversial distribution of department, such as "https://www.ots.at/presseaus-sung/ots_20250212_ots0066/fpoe-staltung-zum-neuen-der-oevp-in-den- coalition negotiations . The proposal, a so-called "basic paper", is considered by the FPÖ representatives as a mixture of a matter of course and already discussed points. They also criticize that the ÖVP refuses to discuss further important topics in order to first clarify the department questions.

The recent negotiations that lasted just under 90 minutes ended without any noteworthy progress, such as OE24 . Although there were some positive signals in the atmosphere, the hoped -for breakthrough failed to materialize in the conversations. While the ÖVP appealed topics such as EU positioning and extremism, it failed due to an agreement, especially with regard to the coveted Ministry of the Interior. The FPÖ had previously presented a list of claims, including ministerial posts for the interior and finance, which led to a public dispute between the two parties.

The ÖVP of the FPÖ has currently offered the Ministry of Finance, while the EU-agenders are supposed to move to the Foreign Ministry of the ÖVP. However, the dispute over the distribution of department remains unresolved, and both parties emphasize their demands on the Ministry of the Interior. The next round of negotiations will be scheduled for tomorrow, and the parties are in a race against the time to reach an agreement and possibly form a stable government.
