Far right gets shut out as Austrian government forms – POLITICO
www.politico.eu

Summary

Austria’s conservative ÖVP, center-left SPÖ, and liberal Neos have formed a coalition after five months of deadlock, blocking the far-right FPÖ from power despite its election victory.

Christian Stocker (ÖVP) will be chancellor, with Andreas Babler (SPÖ) as vice chancellor. The deal includes a seven-year budget plan, targeted tax relief, and social spending.

Migration policy balances security with integration, abandoning FPÖ’s hard-line stance.

The government reaffirms EU commitments, support for Ukraine, and neutrality on NATO while backing EU enlargement in the Western Balkans.

    You cannot have a government without FPÖ or ÖVP. And out of those two I def. prefere ÖVP.

    And yes I agree in most of the points and would also like to see an end to the ÖVP bullshit. however, there lies the fault with the voters who vote for ÖVP again and again.
