What a thriller. I hope that SPÖ, Neos and ÖVP manage to form a government now. How realistic is this, Austrians?

You know Kickl has some real fucking issues when the ÖVP – a party enthralled by money and power, and more than willing to put aside morals and dignity for it – thinks the guy is unfit for office.

IIRC, this now leaves no coalition for which the following three are true:
– It has a majority in the Nationalrat
– It wasn’t excluded by any of the parties pre-election
– Negotiations have not already broken down

This is a very good and important day for Austria and Europe. I’ll have a glass of wine now.
>He added that the ÖVP had outlined three key requirements for a coalition, all of which the FPÖ refused to meet. He said that the centre-right party wanted to ensure Austria remained free from foreign influence, particularly from Russia; kept its position as a reliable partner in the European Union and that it upheld the rule of law, taking decisive action against extremism from both right and left.
At least now it’s clear, Kickl doesn’t even hide, he’s in Putin’s pocket and proud of it.

I’m glad the ÖVP has a tiny remnant of political integrity left, but won’t celebrate prematurely. We are not out of the shit yet.
To get a picture for just how extreme the FPÖ under Kickl is, these were the basic assurances they were absolutely unwilling to make to the ÖVP:
– Austria being free from Russian influence, active participation in Skyshield
– Austria as a reliable partner in the EU
– Austria that values democracy and condemns political extremism

This could be good if the FPO suffers from being blamed on coalition talks failing, let’s wait for the polls and see.

Is a coalition between ÖVP, SPÖ and the Greens possible? As far as I know, the coalition talks broke down last time because they couldn’t agree with NEOS, but maybe the Greens and the SPÖ could agree with each other more.

Fucking FINALLY… Another Putin bitch shoots himself in the foot enough to have the house of cards fall on him.

The government of Austria should just ban the FPÖ and/or arrest its key leaders. The paradox of tolerance dictates that we must not tolerate the intolerant and allow them influence over government.

Far-right and Austria, name a more iconic duo!
I think the best quote on this one comes from The Local (paywalled) [https://www.thelocal.at/20250212/breaking-austrias-far-right-led-coalition-talks-collapse:](https://www.thelocal.at/20250212/breaking-austrias-far-right-led-coalition-talks-collapse🙂
