SPÖ explores with Greens and ÖVP after Vienna election

A coalition of the SPÖ would be possible with the NEOS, the Greens, and the ÖVP after the Vienna election. Only a cooperation with the FPÖ has been excluded by the Social Democrats in advance, so there will be no exploratory meeting with this party.

SPÖ explores with the Greens at 10 AM, with the ÖVP at 2 PM

The series of talks at the town hall starts on Friday morning at 10 AM with the Greens. The Green negotiation team, led by party leaders Judith Pühringer and Peter Kraus, was received at 10:00 AM in the office of Mayor Michael Ludwig (SPÖ). "We are entering the talks very, very openly and really with great joy," assured Pühringer upon arrival. The Greens were already coalition partners of the SPÖ in Vienna between 2010 and 2020. In the election last Sunday, they were able to almost reach their best result to date from the year 2020 again. They achieved 14.5 percent, which represented only a small minus of 0.3 percentage points. A coalition of SPÖ and Greens would come to 58 out of 100 mandates. A two-party coalition under the senior partner SPÖ would be possible with all three parties. An SPÖ-ÖVP coalition would have 53 mandates - as would one with SPÖ and NEOS. The NEOS were already invited to an appointment on Wednesday. The ÖVP will be a guest in the mayor's office today from 2:00 PM.
