Austria's President Alexander Van der Bellen has asked Chancellor Karl Nehammer to form a coalition government after the far-right Freedom Party, led by Herbert Kickl, won the election but failed to secure coalition partners. Van der Bellen emphasized that winning the most votes does not guarantee forming a government. Nehammer acknowledged the need for a third party to ensure a stable majority, while Kickl criticized the President's decision as a break from normal processes. Teljes cikk (bbc.com europe)
