Yes, what was there, it was of the many fans of a blue and black cooperation: the business programs are practical congruent, even with the migration plan there is hardly a sheet of paper between the FPö and ÖVP, and on many other points you are also incredible near. Now that you are negotiating together for a coalition, the slats are laid higher every day …
As if subjects such as the attitude towards the EU, to support Ukraine in their defensive war against Russia and much more, so as not to bring them under one roof, the blue negotiators constantly evoke new demands: insects Raiffeisen Tax, Accolish Accident Insurance, ORF abolishing it radically down, keep the room compulsory memberships and and.
At the ÖVP you still try to give yourself optimistic. “I hope you will negotiate at eye level,” says the lower Austrian VP-Staats captain Mikl-Leitner in the “Krone” interview. However, it can be doubted that this eye level has already been established that the negotiating partners can really look each other in the eye.
The FPö is as if it had won the absolute majority in the elections of the National Council, the blacks said. The ÖVP is as if it was still first, you can hear from nothing. Everything just a winner? “As a politician you would never want to be the winner in the formation of a government,” writes political professor Peter Filzmaier in his “Kroon” analysis about negotiations in general and now in particular.
Blue and blacks should not know the principles of Western, enlightened negotiations or at least not want to take it. They negotiate – or rather: act – rather on Eastern bazaar. There says: “That costs 1000.” The other: “I give you 10.” Do you meet in a middle? Do you perform in the dispute? Or do you just do a bazaarshow, is everything just a theater?
Somehow it seems funny that tight blue and blacks are so oriental. But in reality the situation is serious, after all it is nothing less than Austria!
