On Tuesday, Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen instructed Karl Nehammer to form a government. The ÖVP leader accepted the order and emphasized that he was aiming for a three-party coalition. NEOS and the Greens have already expressed their willingness to work together.
From NEOS’s point of view, the condition for the pink government’s participation is “an honest will for reform and a climate of trust on equal terms,” the report said in a statement.
NEOS: “Time is of the essence”
At the same time, NEOS thanked Van der Bellen for the “clear decision”. The ball is now in Nehammer’s court, who must now explore the possibilities for a stable majority.
From Pink’s point of view, time is running out because the “situation in Austria” does not allow time to be lost in the search for a government capable of acting.
Kogler: “We do not exclude ourselves from discussions”
The Greens also expressed their willingness to govern on Tuesday afternoon. “Just like I did with Andreas Babler and Beate Meinl-Reisinger, I also had a confidential discussion with Karl Nehammer last week. In any case, we Greens will continue to maintain a constructive exchange with these three parties and will not turn away from fair and open exploratory talks or government negotiations,” said federal spokesperson and Vice Chancellor Werner Kogler.
