Austria's Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg has been sworn in as interim chancellor following Karl Nehammer's resignation. His appointment comes as the far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ) leader Herbert Kickl is set to lead coalition negotiations after the FPÖ topped the polls. Nehammer stepped down after coalition talks collapsed. Schallenberg, who previously served as chancellor briefly, has stated he won't serve under Kickl's leadership. Kickl, a controversial figure, plans to enter negotiations with specific demands, while recent polls indicate the FPÖ's support could rise if new elections are called.
