Hannes Bauer: Farewell to a fighter for older people!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - On March 21, 2025, an important state conference of the Lower Austria Pensioners' Association (PVÖ), which was characterized by a change of management. Hannes Bauer, who has embodied the political voice of the older generation for over 20 years, resigned from his office as President. His merits of improving the quality of life of pensioners were recognized by prominent politicians from SPÖ such as Sven Hergovich, Eva Prischl and Hannes Weninger. Bauer played an important role in the development of service offers for the elderly in various political offices, including State Secretary and Deputy Governor, which secured a special place in politics in Lower Austria. Especially at a time when the needs of older people are increasingly becoming the focus, his commitment is valued and missed how ots.at reported.

new president with experience

his successor, Rupert Dworak, has an impressive political career. The 36-year-old community politician gained valuable experience during his 36-year career in Ternitz, including 20 years as mayor. Dworak has emerged primarily as an advocate of a comprehensive infrastructure in communities and emphasizes that he will attach particular importance to the needs of the pensioners. Sven Hergovich, who has also been working as a state council for building law in the state government Mikl-Leitner III since 2023, expressed his confidence in Dworak's ability to tackle the challenges of the older generation and to improve the social and infrastructure-related offers.

The choice of Dworak as the new president is not only a change at the head of the PVÖ Lower Austria, but also a signal for continuation of the commitment for the older generation in Lower Austria. Hergovich and his colleagues emphasized that Dworak will enrich the community through his tireless struggle for better living conditions. The transition thus marks a new beginning, for which many citizens hope for the future policy of the PVÖ, since Dworak is known for its initiatives and its commitment in local politics. These developments will further shape the political landscape in Lower Austria, while the needs of the older population are increasingly becoming the focus.
