At the second meeting in a three-way format, the structure for possible coalition negotiations should be finalized. If everything goes smoothly, such concrete government negotiations could start next week.
First, on Thursday, party leaders Karl Nehammer (ÖVP), Andreas Babler (SPÖ) and Beate Meinl-Reisinger (NEOS) met in a small group at the Palais Epstein. Nothing was revealed about the content of the conversation; Babler only spoke of “good conversations” as he left. After a break, the full meeting of the turquoise, red and pink exploratory teams began around an hour later than originally announced, shortly after 2:30 p.m. The party leaders did not let themselves be seen before the talks began.
Another appointment on Monday – if necessary
No exploratory talks are planned for Friday. If necessary, the three parties could come together on Monday for another round of exploratory discussions, the NEOS said in advance.
The three parties met for the first time on Wednesday for exploratory talks; the ÖVP and SPÖ had previously explored options for forming a government. According to the ÖVP’s wishes, real coalition negotiations should begin at the beginning of next week.

**Interview with Renowned Artist Maya Lin**
*Interviewer: David Marchese*
**David Marchese:** Thank you for joining us, Maya. Your latest installation has sparked a conversation about the intersection of art and nature. Can you tell us what inspired this work?
**Maya Lin:** Thank you for having me, David. The inspiration came from my deep concern for the environment. I wanted to create something that not only captures the beauty of nature but also reflects the urgent need for its preservation.
**David Marchese:** It’s fascinating how you blend these themes. In what ways do you hope your audience interacts with your installation?
**Maya Lin:** I hope they engage with it on multiple levels—emotionally and intellectually. I want them to feel the tranquility of nature while also realizing the fragility of our ecosystem. It’s about creating a space for reflection and conversation.
**David Marchese:** Art often requires vulnerability from the artist. How do you reconcile that vulnerability when sharing your work with the world?
**Maya Lin:** That’s a challenging aspect of being an artist. My process involves a lot of introspection. I have to trust that my experiences and emotions resonate with others, even if they interpret my work through their own lenses.
**David Marchese:** Lastly, what do you see as the role of artists in today’s society?
**Maya Lin:** Artists have a unique ability to provoke thought and spark dialog. In times of uncertainty, like now, it’s crucial for us to inspire people to envision change and motivate them to take action.
**David Marchese:** Thank you, Maya. Your insights are both enlightening and encouraging.
