The conversation between the party leaders of the FPÖ and ÖVP on Wednesday evening may not have brought the major breakthrough. A joint statement from Herbert Kickl and Christian Stocker is not expected for the time being on Thursday. However, the substantive discussions in the subgroups will continue: Further potential for conflict could lie in social policy. The negotiators on the subject of education and science, on the other hand, are said to be well on their way.

Coalition Negotiations Underway

The day before, the subgroup on finance had met. Initially, it was said that the bank levy proposed by the FPÖ could be discussed there, but according to ÖVP representatives, the topic was not as present as expected. According to APA information, the Freedom Party may also have demanded a contribution from the chambers, which is likely to have been received with little enthusiasm by the other side.

Kickl and Stocker Met

High expectations were set for the meeting of the party leaders. It was said that "hot topics" such as ORF, Sky Shield, and the bank levy should be discussed directly by the top leaders. However, the work in the subgroups continues, for example on social and educational policy on Thursday. There will also be discussions over the weekend.
