Once again, the good atmosphere for discussion was emphasized in the context of the meeting, and again almost nothing was leaked about the content. “Ludwig really keeps the lid on here,” says a comrade. “We have a muzzle,” they say in another part of town hall.

There are reportedly approximately three focal points of the pact.

First: the economic management of the crown crisis. “Certainly there will be no austerity measures in the next few years,” says a colleague.

Public access to administration information will be facilitated. “But things like a reduction in party support will not happen to us,” SPÖ circles say. It is conceivable that these sensitive areas, as well as the promotion of party affiliated associations, would be excluded from the coalition pact.

In the days leading up to next Tuesday, when the SPÖ and Neos decide the pact in their respective committees, it will only be about the set-up and financing of the projects.
