Strong women for Lower Austria: New faces in the state parliament!
A significant step for the SPÖ Lower Austria: Sven Hergovich, the chairman of the state party, has announced a comprehensive restructuring of the leadership. With Ulrike Königsberger-Ludwig's move to the federal government as State Secretary for Health, another important position in state politics will be filled. Hergovich emphasizes that this is not just a loss for state politics, but a big gain for federal politics. She will work for better health care and shorter waiting times. Her successor, Eva Prischl, brings years of experience in the social sector and is considered a strong voice for justice and equal opportunities in Lower Austria, as Hergovich emphasizes in a press release.
The changes in the SPÖ Lower Austria continue as Elvira Schmidt has been appointed as the new President of the state parliament. Hergovich expressed confidence that she will continue Prischl's work seamlessly and reiterated the focus on the interests of women and social projects in the country. In addition, Doris Hahn from the Tulln district will return to the state parliament, while Amelie Muthsam, the chairwoman of the Socialist Youth of Lower Austria, will be the youngest member of the Federal Council and thus represent a voice for the concerns of young people. Hergovich stated emphatically that this day would strengthen the SPÖ and make it more feminine, as in the statement from spoe.at is noted.
New challenges and commitment
Eva Prischl, the designated state councilor, reiterated her commitment to the health care system and social balance. “It's big shoes I'm stepping into,” she said in her first statement, which focused on dialogue and improving health care. Elvira Schmidt brought her vision for women's shelters and political education into the discussion in order to better represent the voices in state politics. Meanwhile, Doris Hahn is also pleased to be returning to the state parliament mandate after gaining experience in the Federal Council and is ready to bring her perspectives into the new role.
It is clear that the SPÖ Lower Austria not only wants to strengthen the voice of women and youth with these personnel decisions, but also actively shape the course for the future of state politics. The political course is being reset and a fresh breeze of change is blowing through the management bodies, as Hergovich explained.
