Livestream: How FPÖ Leader Kickl Wants to "Govern Austria Honestly"

The FPÖ will discuss the roadmap for possible coalition talks on Tuesday. After Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen has now given the blue party leader and election winner Herbert Kickl the mandate to form a government, the party committees will meet on Tuesday evening.

Received mandate to form government: FPÖ leader Kickl makes a statement

A public statement from Kickl on this will be available from 3:00 PM at a press conference. According to reports, the ÖVP, which is now open to talks with Kickl, should respond via a press release. We will be reporting live from the press statement of the FPÖ leader.

The Freedom Party had already published a position paper for negotiations after the failure of the first talks with the People's Party - still under party leader and Federal Chancellor Karl Nehammer - and always preferred the turquoise as a possible coalition partner.

Failed coalition negotiations: ÖVP blames SPÖ

Even before Kickl's press conference, the ÖVP tried again to blame the SPÖ for the failure of the coalition negotiations between ÖVP, SPÖ and NEOS. "Babler has cleared the way for Kickl", ÖVP parliamentary group leader August Wöginger declared in a press release. SPÖ chairman Andreas Babler "stubbornly adhered to old left-wing dogmas and showed no willingness to compromise to move the country forward", he argued similarly to the outgoing Federal Chancellor Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) the day before.
