The coalition negotiations between FPö and ÖVP take place in the weekend. So far there is no breakthrough in sight. The current content of the conversations is media and foreign policy, including the ORF budget tax.
The freedoms want to abolish the recently introduced budget levy, the ÖVP is so far. The negotiating partner rejects the range of the People’s Party to maintain the budget tax, but not to increase in the coming years.
Foreign politics and EU Mount Zündstoff too. The turquoise negotiators insist that he is committed to the trade union. The blue EU parliament member Petra Steger, on the other hand, described the European Parliament as the “heart of injustice”.
There are also different views of the Sky Shield air defense program. The majority of the FPö should be. “Personally there is probably a yes in the project,” said former defense Minister Mario Kunasek (FPö). However, the “neutrality level” must be observed. “You have to take a good look”.
No break of negotiations
ÖVP and FPö do not want to take a break of negotiations. The subgroups must make further agreements during the weekend. The semester break is also used. There is still no specific schedule. Participants of the conversations suspected that there is no agreement for the mid -February.
The student representative called for a demonstration against a possible blue and black coalition in Vienna on Friday afternoon. She criticizes alleged plans to increase tuition fees to 1000 euros per semester. There are currently 363.36 euros per semester if the planned study period is exceeded with more than two semesters.
