FPÖ, ÖVP out of the race
Doskozil announces who to negotiate with
The party executive of the SPÖ Burgenland met on Monday to decide with whom concrete negotiations on the new provincial government will be opened. At midday, Hans Peter Doskozil finally announced that he would hold talks with the Greens.
Red-green is a variant that has not yet existed in Burgenland. The decision was taken unanimously by the provincial party executive.
Doskozil assumes that there will also be stumbling blocks with the Greens - such as the planned hospital in Gols. Nevertheless, he expects stable conditions for Burgenland. Compromises and "a certain discipline" are necessary for this. The SPÖ certainly has this, according to the red state governor.
Roadmap on Monday, talks from Tuesday
Doskozil estimates that the negotiations will be successfully concluded in two to three weeks; a roadmap is to be drawn up with the Greens on Monday afternoon. More in-depth talks are then to take place from Tuesday, and information on the interim status will be provided on Monday in a week's time.
One government seat for the Greens
The Greens will receive one seat on the government bench, all other personnel details are still open. The Greens already announced the members of their negotiating team last week - including Felix Ehrenhöfer, Head of Cabinet for Minister Leonore Gewessler.
According to Doskozil, the red negotiating team will be made up of club chairman Roland Fürst, staff from the governor's office and the respective members of government for substantive issues.
Last week, Doskozil met the leaders and top candidates of the FPÖ, ÖVP and the Greens for one-on-one talks and then discussed the priorities for the new legislative period within the party.
Basket for FPÖ and ÖVP
Doskozil rejected the FPÖ and ÖVP, citing, among other things, what he saw as a lack of stability and "untruths" spread during the election campaign. Norbert Hofer himself was "very unifying and a pleasant conversation partner", but the FPÖ had used false reports during the election campaign and Hofer had not put a stop to "this hustle and bustle". Burgenland stands for cohesion and it is the task of politics to live this.
Red-green counterpart to blue-turquoise in the federal government
Doskozil did not want to hide the fact that with red-green he can position himself as the antithesis to the possible blue-Turkish federal government and prove it: "That is one facet that has played a role. (...) I feel a bit more independent in Burgenland's interest." This would make it possible to pursue politics more freely, away from the "constraints" imposed by the ÖVP or FPÖ on the federal side.
The SPÖ had to look for a coalition partner because it lost its absolute majority in the regional elections on 19 January.
