Austria faces a government crisis as Chancellor Karl Nehammer’s attempts to form a coalition with the Social Democrats and the Neos have failed. The Neos withdrew from negotiations, leading Nehammer to halt discussions with the SPÖ. With the Freedom Party (FPÖ) winning the September elections, Nehammer’s coalition efforts were hampered by differing views on addressing economic issues. Speculation arises about Nehammer’s continuation in office and potential successors, including former Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, amidst discussions about possible new elections.
