Austria is planning a large coalition involving conservatives from ÖVP, social democrats from SPÖ, and liberals from NEOS, following seven years of governance by conservative and far-right coalitions. This formation is a reaction to the radicalization of the FPÖ and the results of recent elections. In Romania, negotiations are ongoing between traditional left and right forces, including PSD and PNL, with USR showing willingness to join despite previous opposition. Bulgaria faces persistent political instability, with current talks led by GERB’s Bojko Borisov needing agreement from anti-corruption parties, amidst the presence of far-right and pro-Russian elements. These large or broad coalitions are a growing trend across Europe in response to the rise of radical parties and political fragmentation, mirroring situations seen in Germany, and also occurring in countries like Ireland, Denmark, Belgium, Finland, Slovakia, Italy, Hungary, Croatia, and the Netherlands.
