Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg will make a government statement in the National Council for the second time this Wednesday. The reason is that Karl Nehammer has resigned as Chancellor and Schallenberg, as the longest-serving member of the government, now heads the cabinet.
However, he is unlikely to make any major predictions about the future, as the Black-Green coalition no longer has a majority and the head of government does not want to be part of the emerging Blue-Black government.
No new territory for Schallenberg
For Schallenberg, a government statement is not new territory. When he held the chancellery between Sebastian Kurz and Nehammer for a few weeks, he already received corresponding demands.
The meeting starts in the morning with a ‘current hour’, in which the budget is central at the request of the SPÖ. Otherwise, the only items on the meager agenda are the election of members and alternate members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and a request for the “extradition” of the Secretary General of the Green Party, Olga Voglauer.
