Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen will once again hold talks with party leaders on Thursday. After the collapse of the blue-black coalition negotiations on Wednesday, the head of state has invited the party leaders to explore what a future government might look like. Expected at the Hofburg on Thursday are at least NEOS leader Beate Meinl-Reisinger, SPÖ leader Andreas Babler, and Green leader Werner Kogler.

Coalition Collapsed: Van der Bellen Invites Party Leaders

The Federal President had announced that he would meet with the party leaders in the coming days. In a statement on Wednesday, he spoke of four options following the failure of the blue-black coalition: a new election, a minority government tolerated by parliament, a government of experts, or a coalition of several parties. However, the parties also want to discuss the future internally - while the ÖVP already convened a federal party board on Wednesday, the Social Democrats will meet on Thursday in parliament for a presidium meeting.
