Austria's political crisis deepened on January 5 when Chancellor Karl Nehammer resigned after failed coalition talks. President Alexander Van der Bellen is set to meet far-right leader Herbert Kickl today.
Austria is facing a political crisis after Chancellor Karl Nehammer resigned on January 5, following the collapse of coalition talks aimed at forming a centrist government. Nehammer’s resignation comes amid an inability to form a government that could counter the rising influence of the far-right Freedom Party (FPO), which has gained significant support in recent elections.
President Alexander Van der Bellen expressed his gratitude for Nehammer's service, recognizing the challenges Nehammer faced during his time in office. Despite the resignation, Nehammer will remain in office until a caretaker government is appointed.
Van der Bellen is scheduled to meet with FPO leader Herbert Kickl today to discuss the situation, though he stopped short of endorsing Kickl as a potential chancellor. The political crisis in Austria has raised concerns about the future direction of the country’s government amid growing polarization.
