The mayor of Vienna, Michael Ludwig (SPÖ), aims to form a coalition by mid-November. So said the head of the SPÖ and winner of the elections on Wednesday at a press conference. In any case, the pact with the government should be in force by the end of November at the latest.
This time, too, he was not allowed to elicit preferences as to whether this should be done with ÖVP, NEOS or the previous partner, the Greens.
In any case, Ludwig’s timetable stipulates that he will hold exploratory talks with the three parties in question from early next week, the city chief said.
The order depends solely on the “programming possibilities” and will not allow to draw any conclusions about the future choice of partner, it put an end to the expected speculations in this regard. After that, “very soon deeper coalition negotiations” will take place with the party with which there is the greatest content-related overlap.
