ÖVP, SPÖ and NEOS Present Government Program

Although details were worked on until the last moment, ÖVP, SPÖ, and NEOS plan to present the coalition agreement to the public on Thursday morning. It remains open which individuals will take on which ministerial posts.

ÖVP, SPÖ, and NEOS decide internally on ministerial posts

The ministerial posts must first be finalized internally within the parties in the coming days. The parties will involve their respective committees for the nominations. Particularly within the SPÖ, there seems to be a need for further discussion, as there are differences in opinion between SPÖ leader Andreas Babler and Vienna's Mayor Michael Ludwig, especially regarding the appointment of the finance ministry.

Swearing-in of the three-party coalition next week

The upcoming Monday is still considered a possible date for the swearing-in of the new federal government. The prerequisite for this is that the party committees give the green light for the coalition pact. The NEOS face the biggest internal hurdle, as a membership meeting on Sunday will make the final decision for the Pink party. A two-thirds majority is required for the acceptance of the coalition agreement.
