Christian Stocker of the conservative popular party is expected to be the next Austrian leader.
Three parties come together to form centrist government and dismiss the anti-immigration and Euro-Freedom Party of Power. Christian Stocker, from the conservatives, should become a chancellor.
Three parties announced this Thursday that they reached an agreement to form a new centrist government In Austria, five months after an election won by a far-right party that failed negotiations to form an executive.
In a joint statement, the conservative Austrian popular party, the center-left social democrats and the Liberal Neos party announce that they have reached a coalition for a government after the longest post-election hiatus in Austria after World War II.
The country’s politicians hit a 129 -day record to form a new government, which went back to 1962. The leader of the Popular Party, Christian Stocker, should become a chancellor.
This was the second attempt of the three main parties to form a new government without the Freedom Party, far right, anti-immigration, and Eurochine, which in the Austrian elections of September 29 for the first time as the strongest political force, achieving 28.8% of the votes.
The first attempt failed in early January, leading to the resignation of then -conservative chancellor Karl Nehammer, preparing the land for the president of Austria asking the Freedom Party leader, Herbert Kicklto try to form government.
The Freedom Party leader has controversial postures on immigration, safety and health policies. Defends for example “Remigration of non -invited foreigners” or the suspension of asylum right. And it is also anti-vacinas (which brought you many followers).
Faced with this personality, Karl Nehammer, leader of the second most voted party, said he would never enter a coalition with FPö case Kickl entered the accounts for a government position.
Kickl’s own attempt to gather a coalition with the People’s Party, which ranked second in the elections, failed, and at that time the traditional parties, which faced the risk of a new election that would probably not favor them, resumed negotiations.
The outgoing government, a coalition of the Popular Party and the environmental green, now led by interim chancellor Alexander Schallenberg, has remained in interim power since the election.
The Popular Party and Social Democrats have already ruled often together, but have as little as possible in Parliament Elected in September, with a total of 92 of the 183 seats. This was widely considered a very small pillow and the two parties tried to negotiate with the 18 -seat neos and had never joined a national government.
