Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer announced his resignation after failed attempts to form a new government. Negotiations between the People’s Party and the Social Democrats ended due to disagreements over economic policies and the national deficit.
Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer said Saturday he will resign in the coming days after talks on forming a new government failed a second time. 'Unfortunately I have to tell you today that the negotiations have ended and will not be continued by the People’s Party,' Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer from the conservative People’s Party said in a statement on social media.
He said that Social Democrats have 'gained the upper hand' and that the People’s Party will not sign on to a program that is against economic competitiveness. Social democratic leader Andreas Babler said he regretted the decision by the People’s Party to end the negotiations. 'This is not a good decision for our country,' he said.Babler said that one of the main stumbling blocks had to do with how to repair the 'record deficit' left by the previous government. 'I have offered to Karl Nehammer and the People’s Party to continue negotiating and called on them not to get up,' he told reporters Saturday evening. The next government in Austria faces the challenge of having to save between 18 to 24 billion euros, according to the EU Commission
