NEOS leader Beate Meinl-Reisinger announced this. Whether this will be done within the framework of an EU deficit procedure or without, she did not say. She also announced that they would continue to work on a double budget for 2025 and 2026 in the coming days.

Babler spoke of moving hours with a lot of movement in terms of budget consolidation. Further talks will be needed to implement offensive measures, for example in the fight against inflation.

The meeting was accompanied by discussions between the three party leaders and Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen at the Hofburg. The head of state had received them for individual talks. The presidential chancellery stated that regular exchange had been agreed between Van der Bellen and the negotiating party leaders, including this appointment before Christmas.
