The attempt to form a three-party coalition in Austria has failed after the liberal NEOS party announced its withdrawal from weeks-long coalition talks with the conservative Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) and the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ).

Negotiations for a new three-party government in Austria have collapsed after the Neos party withdrew, leaving Chancellor Karl Nehammer seeking alternatives.

The party was in monthslong talks with the Social Democrats and Chancellor Karl Nehammer's conservative People's Party. The collapse of the talks give hope to the far right FPÖ, which came first in last year's election.
