In Vorarlberg, Austria, a new coalition government has been formed between the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) and the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), marking a significant political shift.
The coalition agreement, finalized after extensive negotiations, outlines a five-year plan focusing on economic growth, renewable energy, and changes in asylum and family policies.
Despite previous tensions, ÖVP's Markus Wallner and FPÖ's Christof Bitschi have agreed to work together, with Wallner continuing as Landeshauptmann and Bitschi becoming Landesstatthalter.
The coalition aims to maintain renewable energy goals and expand public transport, while introducing stricter criteria for social housing allocation based on language skills and integration.
The FPÖ will oversee security and integration, reflecting their influence in the new government structure.
