It is particularly noteworthy that in addition to Christian Stocker, Andreas Babler (SPÖ) as Vice Chancellor and Beate Meinl-Reisinger (NEOS) as Foreign Minister are also represented in a federal government for the first time. The previous government members were removed in the absence of their tasks. This begins a new era, which not only deals with changes in politics, but also about adapting the ministries to new responsibilities. For example, some ministers have to be praised again in the near future when changes in the law to regulate the areas of responsibility, reports krone.at .
