With the Federal President
Still-chancellor Nehammer for talks at the Hofburg
The incumbent Federal Chancellor and ÖVP leader Karl Nehammer arrived at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna on Monday morning for talks with Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen.
No statements were planned; a smiling Karl Nehammer merely wished the photographers and camera crews present a "good morning" before he and Alexander Van der Bellen disappeared behind the legendary tapestry door. There will also be no statement after the talks.
Statement only after the end of the talks
A statement is only planned after the conclusion of the talks with the Federal President, i.e. Tuesday or Wednesday, it was said. Nehammer's ÖVP came second behind the FPÖ and Herbert Kickl in the National Council elections after losing a lot of votes.
The third-placed candidate, SPÖ leader Andreas Babler, is expected to meet the Federal President at 1.30 pm.
Kickl has already laid claim to the chancellorship
The head of state has ranked the talks according to the parties' voting strength. On Friday, Kickl had renewed his claim to the chancellorship in the Hofburg. However, Van der Bellen is skeptical about a blue government under Kickl. He first wants to hold talks with all leaders - "with the necessary calm and in the necessary depth", as he emphasized.
On Tuesday, it will be the turn of NEOS leader Beate Meinl-Reisinger and Green Party leader Werner Kogler. The ÖVP and SPÖ also want to hold informal talks on this day. However, both parties emphasized that these are not to be official coalition talks.
