“To go back into a coalition with this ÖVP would damage the republic,” said Doskozil in the “Presse”. At the same time, he emphasized that the SPÖ catalog of values for coalition partners “would not exclude the FPÖ per se.” It is precisely this catalog of values that should be applied after the election. However, he immediately said that cooperation was impossible under the current party leader Herbert Kickl.

However, SPÖ party leader Andreas Babler has repeatedly categorically ruled out cooperation with the FPÖ.

And let us perform like a circus bear in Romania? I don’t understand that.”
