In Austria, government formation can be entrusted to the far right

If the coalition talks succeed, it will be the first time a right-wing populist will sit as chancellor of Austria.

Austrian Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen called on Freedom Party (FPÖ) leader Herbert Kickl on Monday for talks to form a new government. Der Standard reported it.

A coalition could be formed between the FPÖ, which won more than 29% of the vote in September’s parliamentary elections, and the People’s Party (ÖVP).

According to van der Bellen, after several hours of talking with key officials, he got the impression that “the voices within the People’s Party that do not include cooperation with the Freedom Party led by its leader Kickl are became quieter.” In his opinion, this development “has the potential to open a new path,” so he invited Kickl to a meeting on the morning of Monday, January 6.

If the coalition negotiations succeed, it will be the first time that a far-right populist holds the position of Chancellor of Austria, dpa said.

It can be recalled that Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer decided to resign as head of government and leader of the conservative Austrian People’s Party (ANP) after failing to form a coalition government.

Let’s add that on September 29, the far-right Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) won the Austrian election with a result of more than 29% of the vote. This is 13% higher compared to the previous elections in 2019. The second place was taken by the ANP, and the third by the SDPA. Both parties said they would not act in a coalition with the far right, but would form their own. The NEOS party was also invited for this. But the coalition negotiations failed.
