Austria’s right popular Liberal Party said it had ended attempts to form a conservative People’s Party with the conservative People’s Party.
The announcement failed for the second time after the September elections, followed by a few weeks of negotiations.
Övp first attempted to form a three -party association between the Social Democratic Party and the Liberal NEO, but the two -party associations with the Social Democratic Party collapsed.
Austria is now in an unclear political situation because the Liberal Party cannot form a government.
Herbert Kickl, the Liberal Party leader, demanded a quick new election and blamed övp for the collapse, and the party compromised and did not want to play “power games.”
“We made concessions to övp at many times, but they were not ready to make a decisive compromise. Övp was interested in power games and attitudes.
Earlier, Kickl told President Alexander Van der Bellen that he was giving up the order of becoming the first right -led government in Austria since the FPö was founded by the Nazis in the 1950s.
The Russian -friendly and EuroSCeptic Freedom Party received 26.3%of the polls for the first time in the September general election with 28.8%of the voting.
Nevertheless, in October, President Van Der Belen first granted Nehammer’s obligations to establish the government. However, the negotiations collapsed in early January, and Nehammer resigned and opened the path of temporary ministers of Alexander Schallenberg.
On January 6, Van der Bellen took over the government’s obligations to form a government after finishing the efforts of other parties to create a coalition without failing the Liberal Party.
Austrian coalition negotiations usually keep the secret until they reach the decision. In recent days, however, both parties have announced a statement about their demands and suggested that the talks were in trouble.
The Liberal Party wanted a strong finance and the Ministry of Home Affairs, which was the main obstacle of övp. Övp wanted to confirm “the absence of Russian influence in Austria,” and Vienna left “a reliable partner of the European Union.”
Kickl said on Wednesday that he was giving up his delegation, saying, “We didn’t step on this stage without regret.”
“Övp insisted on clarifying the portfolio allocation in early February. We made concessions to övp at various points of the follow -up talks, but the negotiations ultimately failed to regret our regret.”
Övp secretary -general of Alexander Pröll said Kickl was in “Power Trip” and refused to compromise.
“Herbert kickl himself was rarely involved in government negotiations. In five weeks, Kickl sat at the negotiation table for a total of seven hours,” he said.
“He did not perform his mission.
Political analyst Thomas Hofer told the BBC that “there is no foundation for trust.”
“Kickl has tried to adopt Trump Playbook for Trump’s” Maintenance, “but it is difficult in the combined environment.
“Övp eventually lost two major ministries with an irresponsible kickcla and decided that the foundation of trust is not too dangerous,” he said.
Övp was the only party to be willing to negotiate with the Liberal Party.
President Alexander Van Der Belen said Austria has four options after the collapse of the coalition.
He said another attempt to establish the government by new elections, minority governments, experts or parliamentarians.
He said he would confirm what options were realistic to talk with Austrian political parties for the next few days.
“Liberal democracy lives in compromise,” he said.
