Change of politician in Austria: New era under Christian Stocker begins!

Bundeskanzleramt, Wien, Österreich - In Austria, the handover of the new federal government has started, which is characterized by major events. In the Federal Chancellery, interim chancellor Alexander Schallenberg handed over the official business to the new ÖVP boss Christian Stocker. Schallenberg welcomed his successor with the words: "Welcome to your new house, in your home". He initiated his own term two months ago, and now it turns out that the handover has also been made in a friendly way. As a pro -European politician, Schallenberg emphasized the need for international engagements, especially now that a lot is at stake. This handover is likely to be significant for Austria because Stocker promises to be "Federal Chancellor for everyone" - a statement that aims to keep an eye on the entire population.

Another point of the tensions between the FPÖ and the ÖVP are different positions on European affairs. Schallenberg has made it clear that in a possible government under Kickl he will no longer be available as foreign minister because he wants to maintain his pro -European line. Most recently, the FPÖ had won in the autumn elections, which weakened the previous Chancellor Party ÖVP. The coming days and discussions could be pioneering for the political landscape in Austria, while the pressure on Stocker and Kickl is increasing to find a common basis.
