Viennese coalition: SPÖ and Neos present a new program!

Wien, Österreich - The political landscape in Vienna changed again after the elections on April 27 of this year. SPÖ and NEOS have once again agreed on a collaboration that culminates in a new government program. The program was presented on Monday evening, which focuses primarily on work and business. Details of this program are expected today on June 3, 2025. Mayor Michael Ludwig will lead the new government, while Bettina Emmerling could take on the role of Vice Mayor of the Neos, as

The exact personnel selection will not be presented until Wednesday. The decision is particularly excited about the decision about who will take over the finance department after Peter Hanke has switched to the federal government. There are some speculations here, since austerity measures in Vienna are also essential and the debate about the financability of the current minimum security model is flamed again.

The new government program provides for a clear direction in creating jobs and strengthening the Viennese economy. This is particularly important, since the SPÖ has lost slightly in the Vienna election, but with almost 40 percent of the votes is still strongly represented. NEOS, on the other hand, can confidently compete in the municipal council with an increase of two seats and exceeded the 10 percent hurdle, such as ORF Vienna .

The negotiations between the SPÖ and Neos were penetrated by less information than in the past. During the presentation of the new government program, it could be shown whether the name "progress coalition" is retained or whether a new departure is signaled here. Five years ago in a similar situation there was a symbolic presentation accompanied by a large punch donut - a picture that many Viennese remembered.

Overall, the Viennese coalition shows how closely political strategy and economic challenges are linked. The coming weeks and months will be crucial for how the cooperation between SPÖ and Neos will be.
