Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer has announced that his conservative Austrian People's Party will continue its coalition with the Green party, despite disagreements over the Nature Restoration plan. This decision comes after Environment Minister Leonore Gewessler voted in favor of the plan in a European Union ballot, causing tension within the coalition.
Nehammer expressed his commitment to maintaining stability until the upcoming national election on Sept. 29, stating that it is his responsibility as federal chancellor to ensure an orderly path forward. Despite the emotional strain caused by the disagreement, Nehammer emphasized that he will not dissolve the coalition.
