Three parties announced Thursday that they have reached a deal to form a new centrist Austrian government, five months after an election was won by a far-right party that later failed in an attempt to form an administration, The Associated Press reports.
A statement from the conservative Austrian People’s Party, the center-left Social Democrats and the liberal Neos said they agreed on a program for a coalition.
New People’s Party leader Christian Stocker is expected to become chancellor. The parties planned to present their program later Thursday.
