Kickl on the sidelines?
Coalition poker: Subtle rapprochement between SPÖ and ÖVP
The formation of a government continues to proceed rather slowly. While there have already been constructive exploratory talks between ÖVP leader Karl Nehammer and SPÖ leader Andreas Babler, FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl is due to speak to Babler on Friday.
Nehammer is currently attending the EU summit in Brussels. But distance is no barrier to proximity.

Federal President Alexander van der Bellen sent him and the heads of the other major parties on an initial exploratory trip.

No "red lines" or possible coalition conditions such as taxes on the rich or inheritance taxes were drawn. It was a constructive discussion in which Babler also addressed the ÖVP's favorite economic topic: strengthening the business location.
