Austria's conservatives agree to form an unprecedented coalition government with the Greens after months of negotiations
Leader of Austria's Green Party Werner Kogler and head of People's Party Sebastian Kurz shake hands after delivering a statement, in Vienna, Austria January 1, 2020.
The polls were triggered after a corruption scandal engulfed Kurz's far-right ally after just 18 months in government together, during which the 33-year-old had carefully cultivated his image as a hardliner on immigration.Greens leader Werner Kogler said the two disparate parties had managed to "build bridges" to form a government for "the future of Austria".
The two leaders indicated they would reform the tax system to lower the burden on Austrians, a key OeVP promise, but at the same time introduce higher eco taxes in line with the Greens' campaign. The Greens secured 13.9 percent of the vote, their best-ever result, due to the environment replacing immigration as top concern in the country of 8.8 million people.Hofer said other European countries, such as Germany, could also see Conservative-Green party coalitions in the future."Kurz is setting a certain trend maybe ahead of time, and this is certainly something also on the international stage that he would be able to sell," he said.
