In an impressive speech in the Federal Council, the Salzburg governor Wilfried Haslauer (ÖVP) emphasized the need for a "New Deal for Austria" on March 13, 2025. On the occasion of the six -monthly change change, Haslauer analyzed the current transformation processes at geopolitical, social and economic level.

The Ukraine War not only marked a turning point, but also initiated a social transformation process. Europe has dominated the world market for 60 years, but now the continent is faced with the challenge of redefining its future role in global power structure. In this regard, Haslauer was not alone, because Chancellor Christian Stocker (ÖVP) also spoke out in his opening speech for a "new cooperation" in politics. He emphasized the importance of compromises and appreciation towards other opinions in a pluralistic democracy, which he described as the strength of Austrian political culture, according to the Apa-OTS .

The political debate was also aimed at a greater involvement of the parliament and the opposition parties, which Vice Chancellor Andreas Babler (SPÖ) emphasized. The Federal Government agreed that the challenges of the coming years require de -bureaucratization and financial freedoms for the federal states. In this context, the log in was also announced by four new federal councils, which underline the politically necessary rejuvenation of the country chamber. The urgent request for joint future design becomes particularly clear where all political colors are required to actively address the current challenges and find solutions.
