President Alexander Van der Bellen emphasized that the Freedom Party (FPO) cannot govern alone despite winning the election, indicating that coalition formation is necessary for majority support.
Chancellor Karl Nehammer has been assigned to lead coalition discussions with the Social Democrats (SPO), highlighting the political tension following the Freedom Party's electoral success.
Herbert Kickl, the FPO leader, argued that it would be undemocratic for his party to be excluded from government formation after securing a significant election victory.
Van der Bellen pointed out the unprecedented situation where no other party is willing to govern with the FPO, challenging the traditional electoral winning convention.
