  • Karl Nehammer said about the talks between his conservative People's Party and the Social Democrats: 'We have tried everything up to this point.'

Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer has announced his intention to resign following the collapse of power-sharing talks with the far-right Freedom Party (FPO). The breakdown occurred after the FPO withdrew from negotiations, citing irreconcilable differences over key policy issues, including immigration and economic reforms. Nehammer, from the conservative People's Party (OVP), expressed regret over the failure to form a coalition government, stating that despite his efforts to find common ground, the ideological divide was too vast. This political impasse has led to speculation about potential snap elections or the formation of a minority government. The situation has left Austria in a state of political uncertainty, with Nehammer's resignation likely to trigger significant political realignment in the country.
