FPÖ Executive Board Voted for Coalition Negotiations with ÖVP
In a press announcement on Tuesday afternoon, Kickl extended a "hand" to the ÖVP, but also demanded "honesty" and "unity" from the potential coalition partner. "If that is not guaranteed, then it's over already."
FPÖ Negotiation Team for Coalition Negotiations with ÖVP Confirmed
According to Kickl, he called Stocker after the presidium meeting. The negotiation team, which had already been set up for the first - failed - talks with the ÖVP, was also revived at the presidium meeting. In addition to Kickl, the two general secretaries Michael Schnedlitz and Christian Hafenecker belong to this team. They are joined by club director Norbert Nemeth, the club chairman in the Lower Austrian state parliament Reinhard Teufel, the deputy Susanne Fürst and manager Arnold Schiefer.
Previously, Kickl had emphasized in a press statement, in which no questions were allowed, that he was not looking into the past but into the future. Unforgiveness leads to nothing, even though he understands the skepticism of some warners of the People's Party: "At first I also thought I didn't hear correctly," said the FP leader about the ÖVP's swing towards the Freedom Party. That he is now talking to the People's Party is not easy for him either. At the same time, he addressed the ÖVP, stating that they would have to recognize who had become the strongest party and who had landed in second place.
