New SPÖ boss Max Lercher: To recapture the workforce!

Tirol, Österreich - A change of management is in the Styrian SPÖ: Max Lercher, the former federal manager and known for his striking statements, takes over the rudder of Anton Lang. At the meeting of the Styrian State Party Board, Lercher prevailed with 87 percent of the votes, as apa-interview that there was no need for major changes to the existing resolutions. The voice of the SPÖ should continue to remain strong, especially in important social policy issues. In particular, the topic of integration is to be actively addressed, whereby faster German courses and positive measures for asylum seekers are on the agenda to promote social participation.

Wohlgemuth points out that cooperation with the ÖVP should remain stable. His goal is to strengthen unity within the SPÖ and the state government, while Lercher focuses on the challenges in the opposition. Both new management positions are in an exciting context, whereby Lercher wants to restore the credibility of his party, while Wohlgemuth advocates stability and efficient integration measures.
