Talks between Austria's far-right Freedom Party (FPO) and the conservative People's Party (OVP) on forming a coalition government have not collapsed, the FPO said on Tuesday, dismissing media reports of a halt as a "hoax".

"No, talks have not been broken off. The OVP is evidently holding internal deliberations. That is completely normal in negotiations," the FPO said on social media platform X, adding: "We can continue (the talks) tomorrow."
