Have the blue-black coalition negotiations finally failed or is there still a last-minute cleaning? The rumor mill bubbles enormously in the hour. Fix is now: at 5 p.m. the party leader Herbert Kickl and Christian Stocker have an appointment with federal president Alexander van der Bellen in the Hofburg. Krone. Is on the ball for you.
FPö and ÖVP have already conducted coalition negotiations for five weeks. In the first instance it provided a quick agreement, a joint savings package of around 6.4 billion euros was presented in mid -January.
Blue-Black: After the savings package it goes downhill
But since then the blue-black negotiating engine has stuttered more and more. For example, statements by ÖVP -Baas Christian Stocker made up moods at the FPö, who claimed a course correction of freedom in a media back discussion. The demand for a bank load from the FPö also resulted in inflammatory material. As you know, the negotiations were interrupted last week, after which there was even about two days of full radio silence between the negotiating peaks.
There are also wild quarrels with regard to the department department. FPö Boss Herbert Kickl is always on both ministries: Finance and Interior. The ÖVP, in turn, presented the blue a paper where common basic lines of the board had to be determined.

In any case, statements from the Chamber of Commerce Mahrer indicate a termination of the blue-black negotiations. The black negotiator attorney the FPö sharply on Tuesday: “Austria is a democracy and democratic basic principles are important. If you are not ready for consensus and are only in the power of power, you may not be a fit of the government.
The fact is: four and a half months have passed since the elections of the National Council – but there is still no new government. As a reminder: firstly, the head of the second placed ÖVP, Karl Nehammer, received the order for government formation. After the failure of the triple conversations between the ÖVP, Spö and Neos, Nehammer resigned and FPö Boss Kickl was instructed to form the government.
