Austria's major political parties, including the center-right People's Party, the center-left Social Democrats, and the liberal Neos, have come together to form a historic three-party coalition government. This marks the first such coalition since the 1940s and will be finalized next week if all parties agree. However, concerns linger regarding Neos' commitment, given they represent a minority within the coalition. The deal notably excludes the Freedom Party, which emerged as the largest party in the last election but failed to secure a coalition agreement. FPO's leader criticized the coalition as a 'coalition of losers.'
The coalition deal sidelines the far-right Freedom Party (FPO), who with 28.8% of the vote were the strongest party in September's election.
FPO leader Herbert Kickl called it a 'coalition of losers' and called for a snap election.
