In Austria, the coalition negotiations between the right FPÖ and the conservative ÖVP failed. This was announced by FPÖ boss Herbert Kickl after a meeting with Chancellor Alexander van der Bellen in Vienna. He returned the government order.
Kickl and the ÖVP chairman Christian Stocker could not agree on the formation of a government coalition. The parties had argued primarily about the distribution of the ministries because both sides wanted to take over the Interior and Finance Ministry.
On Tuesday, Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen made rapid clarity whether the government talks were canceled or continued. The parties have hardly made any progress in fundamental questions. Large differences were recognizable in EU and foreign policy. The tone in the public statements on both sides finally worsened.
