On Tuesday, the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) was urged by Stefan Kaineder, the Upper Austrian state and deputy federal spokesperson for the Greens, to "pull the emergency brake". The Greens have never shied away from cooperation and will continue to do so, he emphasised his party's readiness for coalition negotiations or parliamentary cooperation.

In view of many statements by the ÖVP, according to which they would exclude a coalition with FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl, he sees "the greatest deception of voters in the Second Republic". A small circle had decided to go with the FPÖ over the heads of the functionaries. He accuses the SPÖ of lacking staying power, responsibility and willingness to compromise.

However, he reserves his sharpest criticism for the NEOS: "If Beate Meinl-Reisinger tells us in her press conference that they have negotiated significant successes in the education sector, then I ask myself, why doesn't she become Minister of Education and do the country a great favour?", even if as a nine-percent party they have not immediately brought about a state reform. Kaineder referred to the coalition negotiations of the Greens with the ÖVP under Sebastian Kurz. These were by no means easy and the government programme was "anything but perfect", yet they had worked through the full term.
