Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen emphasized after the meeting with Herbert Kickl (FPÖ) and Werner Kogler (Greens) that it is important to him to maintain a good dialogue with the opposition as well. "We are all responsible for the success of the joint project Austria."

Federal President Van der Bellen Emphasized Joint Responsibility for the State as a Whole

Especially in times of great change, it is about taking responsibility together, the head of state also emphasized after his meeting with Kogler on Wednesday. This applies equally to the government and the opposition. "Now it's about cooperating in the interest of the state as a whole," said Van der Bellen. Since his last visit to the Hofburg, a lot has happened in Austria, which "unfortunately has not been to the advantage of our compatriots," Kickl mentioned on X, referring to his meeting with Van der Bellen in mid-February, during which he had returned the mandate to form a government after the failure of his coalition negotiations with the ÖVP. He described the conversation with the Federal President as open and constructive. Kogler, for his part, emphasized that he appreciates "the regular meetings" with Van der Bellen. His party will make its "contribution to a stable republic and the common whole," he announced.
