Korinna Schumann: The new hope in the Ministry of Social Affairs!

Sozialministerium, Österreich - In the political power game of Austria, 58-year-old Korinna Schumann has now taken over the management of the new monster department for work and social affairs. After years of change, the Ministry of Social Affairs returns to the trade union federation under its leadership, which certainly causes the sparkling wine cork in the ministry, not least due to its e -foods of over three decades in the clutches of this institution. Schumann, who accepts the challenge, is not a blank leaf as the women's chairman of the ÖGB and parliamentary group leader of the SPÖ in the Federal Council, but a well -known personality who is very familiar in the Ministry of Social Affairs, as krone.at reports .

But Schumann is facing a mammoth task. She takes over a department that was already criticized with the former Minister Beate Hartinger-Klein. Its insufficient results left her a difficult legacy. Malignant tongues make comparisons and already call them the "Red Hartinger-Klein". Their biggest challenge will be the integration of asylum seekers who should go into the labor market "from day 1". A strict course is planned to expect unwilling sanctions.

trade union colleagues show trust

Josef Muchitsch, a colleague from the union, is optimistic: "Schumann will surprise!". With her down -to -earthness and understandable language, she wants to convince quickly and is passionate about social justice. With Schumann at the top of the ministry, a lot could move - even if critical voices were not long in coming. If it goes to Schumann, a turn in integration policy is quite possible.
