Schallenberg Does Not Want to Remain Foreign Minister Under Kickl
This was reported by the daily newspaper "Die Presse" on Monday (online), citing a spokeswoman. The APA was confirmed from the office of the Foreign Minister that he "stands by his previous statements".
Schallenberg had already stated in an interview with "Die Presse" in 2023 that the Foreign Minister under a Chancellor Kickl "will certainly not be Schallenberg". The 55-year-old has been Austria's Foreign Minister since 2019. His term of office was briefly interrupted in 2021 when he temporarily took over the office of the head of government after the resignation of Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP). In the coalition talks with SPÖ and Neos, he last negotiated the foreign policy chapter for the ÖVP. It is considered unlikely that he will now participate in the negotiations with the FPÖ.
