“Hand vast” – Failed blue -Black, others are already ready

Andreas Babler (Spö) and Werner Kogler (Greens) appealed to the ÖVP to end the coalition negotiations with the FPö and still have discussions with the Spö and possibly a third party. “It’s never too late to return,” said Kogler in the ORF program “The Conversation”. Babler appealed to the “reason” of the ÖVP. Neos would also be ready for new conversations, said Neos-Mandatar Sepp Schellhorn.

Babler: “Our hand is vast”
Babler emphasized that it was about taking responsibility. “Our hand is extensive,” he told the ÖVP again. Because people knew “what threatens”: “namely that the chairman of an extremist party could become a federal chancellor, through the help of the ÖVP.” “It is up to the ÖVP to make a decision now. You know who you are in bed with, “he said with a view to FPö Boss Herbert Kickl.

Asked if the Spö would be willing to make a compromise, Babler said that his party “did not draw any red lines in the triple negotiations or that only with the ÖVP.“ We were left, we wanted to finish these negotiations. We believed that the points could be solved ”and one could make a compromise in the ÖVP.” Only he was no longer able to move and is completely dismantled and the ÖVP left the negotiating table.

Kogler warns against Kickl as Chancellor
Kogler warned the ÖVP against helping the FPö to the Chancellery: “If the ÖVP kicks the FPö and Herbert, the radicals with the right side of the Chancellery, from responsible for Kogler that the ÖVP is back on the Spö”, possibly “,” With a third party “-this would probably be the Neos, according to the still Vice Chancellor. “We would support this, even with two -thirds majorities, nothing has changed,” he said.

Kogler described the negotiations of the ÖVP with the FPö as a “no go”: “The ÖVP has started and has gelacified voices, KICKKL and the FPö for good reasons – as a ‘security risk’ (as the ÖVP KICKKL in the elections called campaign – To prevent Babler, he never believed that the ÖVP breaks his word. “

Neos still ready to talk
Neos-Mandatar Schellhorn, whose party was the first to have the three-day conversations between the ÖVP, Spö and Neos lagged behind at the beginning of January, said that they “had to leave nothing to be unnecessary” and gave the support of an ÖVP minority government. Because new elections are “feminine who play with it”, he looked at the FPö without calling them directly. You could compromise, he said. Now the FPö and ÖVP are on the train. “If they don’t agree, you might also have to approach each other with other rolling tasks.”
