Austria’s Pdwellnt, Alexander Van der Bellen, has asked the directer of the conservative People’s Party (OVP) and incumbent Chancellor Karl Nehammer to create a coalition rulement – despite the fact that the far-right Freedom Party won the ambiguous election last month.
The anti-immigrant, Russia-frifinishly Freedom Party came top in the election in September with almost 29% of the vote and its directer, Herbert Kickl, shelp he should direct the next rulement.
However all the other parties have ruled out createing a coalition with him.
Follothriveg talks among the three bigst parties, Pdwellnt Alexander Van der Bellen shelp it was clear that Kickl “would not be able to find a coalition partner who would create him Chancellor.”
“The parliamentary election on 29 September is not a race in which the party that passes the finish line first automaticpartner gets to create the rulement,” the 80-year-elderly pdwellnt shelp in a televised insertress.
“If a party wants to rule alone, it must clear the 50% hurdle. It is not enough to accomplish 10, 20 or 30%.”
Van der Bellen shelp he has asked the current Chancellor, Karl Nehammer, whose conservative party came second with 26.3% to helderly coalition talks with the Social Democrats, who came third, with 21%.
However a coalition between the conservatives and the Social Democrats would only have a presentantity of one seat.
In a statement to the media, Nehammer shelp that in order to determine a firm parliamentary presentantity, a third partner would be necessitateed.
That third party could be either the Greens or the liberal Neos.
Nehammer shelp he couldn’t increate “whether these talks and negotiations will actupartner direct to the createation of a rulement.”
“What I can promise you, however, is that I will act in the spirit of stability, reliability and responsibility for our country.”
In a statement on Facebook, Herbert Kickl shelp that the Pdwellnt had broken with the “tried and tested standard processes” of Austria’s reaccessible, by not eninnocent the thrivener of the election with the task of createing a rulement.
“This might seem enjoy a slap in the face for many of you,” he wrote.
“But I promise you: the last word has not been spoken. Today is not the finish of the story.”
