Blue-Black Coalition Negotiations: Successes in Subgroups

On Tuesday, the subgroups on agriculture, environmental protection, constitution and family are meeting, where, according to APA information, the final vote could already take place. Also this week, there should be a meeting of the top group with the party leaders. There, sensitive issues such as ORF, Sky Shield and migration could be discussed.

Later Conclusion of Coalition Negotiations?

Over the weekend, it seemed as if there was increasing dispute between the negotiators, but since Monday, efforts have been made to continue working constructively on a coalition. After all, mutual hostilities were absent at the beginning of the week. The timeframe may have been pushed back: both sides now believe that a government announcement could not be made before mid-February.

"Austria-Ticket" Instead of Climate Ticket?

At least: The group that initially negotiated the topics of agriculture, environmental protection and climate policy has now been divided into smaller discussion rounds. Although FPÖ chairman Herbert Kickl railed against the green "climate communism" at his party's New Year's meeting, the Freedom Party is open to renewable energy. The climate ticket could become an "Austria ticket", according to the blue wish.

The thematically broad subgroup "Constitution, Deregulation, Public Service, Fight against Anti-Semitism and Political Islam" may also agree on some points. Also the one on "Family, Youth and Women", which meets again on Tuesday. However, really "hot issues" are to be discussed between the chief negotiators, who should communicate more intensively again during the week.
