Overview

• Christian Stocker of the ÖVP becomes Austria's new Chancellor, with SPÖ's Andreas Babler as Vice-Chancellor and Neos' Beate Meinl-Reisinger as Foreign Minister.
• The coalition agreement includes stricter migration policies, budget deficit reduction measures, and temporary caps on rent increases.
• The alliance was finalized after the Neos' membership overwhelmingly approved the pact with 94.1% support in a vote on Sunday.
• The three-party coalition was formed to block the far-right FPÖ, which won the most votes in the 2024 election but failed to secure a partner for government.
• This pro-European coalition marks the first time Austria has been governed by a partnership of conservatives, social democrats, and liberals.
