Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer urged Federal President Alexander van der Bellen to give the Freedom Party of Austria, winner of Sunday's parliamentary elections, the opportunity to form a government, MTI reported.
The Freedom Party of Austria won about 29% of the vote in the elections, but needs a coalition partner to be able to govern in a majority of parliamentary states. However, the parties that won parliamentary mandate refrained from forming a coalition with the Freedom Party of Austria.
On Tuesday, Karl Nehammer, after the leadership of the conservative Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) unanimously voted in favor and installed him as president, explained to reporters that, in his opinion, it is a good tradition to entrust the winner with his post. Elections with media negotiations.
The ÖVP party came in second place in the elections with 26.5 percent. However, in alliance with the third-placed Social Democratic Party of Austria, they would only obtain a one-term majority in parliament, which is why, according to analysts, a coalition complemented by the liberal NEOS party would be more viable.
Alexander Van der Bellen said on Sunday that he would meet with the parliamentary parties and invited them to negotiate with each other, but he left the next step open.
Karl Nehammer stated that the head of state must now say what his vision is for the next steps in the process.
As I mentioned previously, Under the leadership of Herbert Kickl, the far-right Freedom Party of Austria won federal parliamentary elections for the first time, but this may be why it lost, because although the Freedom Party of Austria would be an acceptable partner for the second-place ÖVP, they did not want its leader. if while The Freedom Party of Austria wants to return to government after 2019, and they must oust Kickl, who saved the party after the Heinz-Christian Strache-led Ibiza scandal.
It was already a certainty before the electionThe Green Party government, which has been in power for five years, will not retain its parliamentary majority, so a new government will be formed outside the Legata in the fall.
