The Green Minister Leonore Gewessler was in favor of an environmental law in the EU against the express will of the ÖVP. Since then, there has been a legal dispute as to whether Gewessler acted unlawfully. Politically, however, it is downright absurd that the turquoise-green coalition continues to exist.

1. yes eh. Due to the deadlines for new elections, the end of the coalition would have led to the exact same election day, which we have anyway on September 29. There are also a number of consequential problems, such as the fact that the Federal President might have had to appoint another government of experts as an interim solution. But is a continued coalition against the will better?
