New government team sworn in: Michael Buchner as a cabinet manager!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - On March 3, 2025, the new government was officially introduced under the leadership of Federal Chancellor Christian Stocker. An exciting relay handover is accompanied by this appointment: 31-year-old economist Michael Buchner takes on the role of the cabinet manager and thus brings a breath of fresh air to the political landscape of Austria. Previously, Buchner worked as an economic policy advisor to ex-Federal Chancellor Karl Nehammer and already gained experience in the Ministry of Finance. At his side, the two deputy head of cabinet Nikolaus Dorfstetter and Florian Seifert will act, both of whom can also show promising political careers, as on ots.at reports .

The 30-year-old village stetter, previously office manager of Stocker, changes from the ÖVP federal party center to the Chancellery. With a background as a militia officer and his training at the University of Natural Research, he brings an interesting perspective. Seifert, also active in recent politics, has led government coordination for the past few years in the Ministry of Finance and will enrich the cabinet with his experience from the private sector. These new occupations come into force at the same time with other crucial ministerial races in the new government. Among other things, Beate Meinl-Reisinger takes over the Ministry of European and International Affairs and Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer the Ministry of Labor and Economy.
