Austria Nears Historic Three-Party Coalition Agreement

The ÖVP, SPÖ, and Neos are poised to form Austria's first-ever three-party government after months of stalled negotiations.

Austria's ÖVP, SPÖ, and Neos have resumed coalition talks after failed negotiations earlier this year, showing significant progress toward forming a government.
This marks the first time in Austrian history that a three-party coalition is set to govern, signaling a potential shift in the country's political landscape.
The coalition discussions were revitalized following the collapse of efforts to form a government led by the far-right FPÖ earlier this month.
Key sticking points, including the division of ministerial posts, are reportedly close to resolution, with a final agreement expected by midweek.
The Neos' party members must still vote to approve the coalition, with the outcome of their internal referendum anticipated next Sunday.
