Viennese SPÖ Begins Coalition Negotiations
The Vienna SPÖ will convene a state party board meeting on Monday morning. Afterwards, the chairman, Mayor Michael Ludwig, will announce which party the Social Democrats will enter negotiations with to form the future city government.
SPÖ Decides on Government Partner
In addition to the previous coalition partner NEOS, the Greens and the ÖVP are also options. The best chances are attributed to the Pink party, as the cooperation in the past legislative period went smoothly. Last week, the Reds held exploratory talks with all three potential partners.
No Cooperation with the FPÖ
With NEOS and ÖVP, who each won ten mandates in the election a week ago, the SPÖ would have 53 of the 100 seats in the municipal council. The Greens and SPÖ together would have 58 mandates. The largest majority would be possible with the Freedom Party, but Ludwig has repeatedly ruled out cooperation with the FPÖ.
