"Wisdom" in the box
Coalition search: Party leaders in the Hofburg again
What were the results of the talks between the three parties with the most votes, the FPÖ, ÖVP and SPÖ? Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen was informed about this by the party leaders on Monday. Herbert Kickl was the first person invited to the Hofburg for talks. He even had a small blue gift with him. What happens now? Van der Bellen wants to comment on this in the coming days.
"Everything in good time," the host replied to journalists' questions about what he expected from the meeting with the FPÖ leader. After a brief greeting and a short photo together, the two disappeared behind the red wallpaper door. In addition to his laptop, Kickl also had a blue box with him. After the 50-minute conversation, Kickl revealed that it was a small gift for his interlocutor.
Owl in the box
The party leader did not officially say anything about the contents of the mysterious parcel - but according to insiders, it was an owl figurine symbolizing wisdom ...
ÖVP leader Nehammer arrived at 3 pm. Incidentally, he had no gift with him. After the meeting, Nehammer didn't say anything other than a curt "Goodbye!". Before that, Kickl had also put off the waiting journalists. He would only make a public statement once Van der Bellen had spoken to all three party leaders and made his own statement, he said on his way out.
The last person to speak was SPÖ leader Andreas Babler. For the time being, nothing of this meeting leaked out. Van der Bellen must now set the course for the next government. Cooperation between the ÖVP and the SPÖ is becoming apparent.
Clear relations only with the NEOS?
Van der Bellen had already emphasized after the National Council elections that he wanted to ensure clarity and stability. Therefore, the two parties mentioned will probably need a third party - the NEOS have emerged in recent weeks. There will be no statement from the head of state on Monday.
On the occasion of the SPÖ party committees, Babler did not want to comment on the progress of the talks on Monday morning. He is waiting to see what steps Van der Bellen will take next. Whether it should go in the direction of opposition or government was only answered on the sidelines of the presidium by the Upper Austrian state leader Michael Lindner. The aim of the SPÖ is to improve living conditions for the people: "This will only be possible with government participation."
