The coalition negotiations continue even beyond the difficult budget topic. According to media reports, there should be progress in some subgroups.
According to "Krone", an energy corporation tax is almost certain. There should also be common ground in the areas of migration and integration as well as health between ÖVP, SPÖ and NEOS. No side wanted to confirm the contents upon APA request, negotiations are said to continue swiftly.
There should already be an agreement on an "integration package", the Ö1 "Mittagsjournal" also reported. This includes faster access to the job market and in-kind benefits instead of cash benefits for asylum seekers. The social insurance reform by Türkis-Blau could be partially reversed. In the health sector, the negotiators allegedly want to achieve a guaranteed appointment for doctor visits. A new attempt at reforming the directive peak in the judiciary is also planned.
By December 12, all subgroups should have initially completed their work. By then it should be clear on which points the three parties agree, where there are still open questions and where they do not find common ground at all. The unresolved points should then be reviewed by the steering group, which includes the party leaders as well as the presidents of ÖGB and Wirtschaftskammer, Wolfgang Katzian and Harald Mahrer.
