Austrian Chancellor Nehammer says he will resign after talks on forming a new government fail

Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer says he will resign in the coming days after talks on forming a new government failed a second time. The announcement Saturday came after the People’s Party and the Social Democrats continued coalition talks a day after the liberal Neos party’s surprise withdrawal from discussions. “We have tried everything up to this point. An agreement on key points is not possible, so it makes no sense for a positive future for Austria,” Nehammer, from the conservative People’s Party, said in a statement on social media.
