Complete withdrawal
Nehammer also resigns from the National Council
Karl Nehammer is apparently withdrawing completely from politics. After the chancellorship and the ÖVP chairmanship, the 52-year-old is now also resigning from the National Council.
According to reports, Nehammer has not yet submitted his letter of resignation. However, it should be ready by the next National Council meeting on January 22 at the latest.
After he was unable to agree on a three-party coalition with the SPÖ and NEOS and the latter left the negotiations, Nehammer also terminated talks with the Social Democrats a week ago. On Saturday evening, he announced that he would step down as chancellor and ÖVP leader. The party has since been taken over by former Secretary General Christian Stocker, who is now working on a government agreement with the FPÖ.
Schallenberg sworn in as interim chancellor
On Friday, Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg was entrusted with the chairmanship of the current government until further notice. However, the interim chancellor is no longer seeking a ministerial office under Chancellor Herbert Kickl.
