Austria's National Council convened on Wednesday amidst ongoing coalition negotiations to form a new government.

The session began with a moment of silence for a recent terror victim, followed by discussions on the Ukraine war and EU security.

Outgoing Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg delivered an emotional farewell speech, emphasizing Austria's stance on justice and unity within Europe.

Meanwhile, the anticipated coalition between ÖVP, SPÖ, and Neos remains under negotiation, delaying a formal government announcement.

The session also addressed legislative updates, including financial crime regulations, and debated controversial remarks by an FPÖ member.

The political landscape remains in flux as Austria awaits its next government.
