In Austria, however, an agreement on the new government without the far right
Austria will nevertheless receive a new government after months of negotiation and playing of various scenariosin which there will be no extreme freedom party (FPÖ), otherwise the winner of last year's parliamentary elections in the northern neighbor. In addition to the Conservative People's Party (ÖVP), the new ruling coalition will be assembled by the center -left Social Democrats (SPÖ) and the Liberal Party Neos.

It seems that the new Chancellor will become Christian Stockerwho took over the leadership of ÖVP earlier this year from the current Kancerl Karl Nehammer.
The coalition program envisages, among other things, the enforcement of a savings plan worth several billion euros, which will avoid Austria's dispute with Brussels due to excessive budget deficit.

Customers are also planning to tighten migration policy, including a temporary ban on combining refugee families, a more stringent fight against political Islam and the spread of Islamist propaganda, an increase in taxes on excess energy companies, and the program also included a call for Ukraine to participate in any peace negotiations on the end of three years with Russia.
The three parties tried to formulate the government at the transition to the New Year, but at that time they failed to find a common language. Their second attempt was followed by the failed coalition negotiations between the far right FPÖ and the Conservative People's Party.
