The traffic light government is: Who takes over the ministerial post?

The new government constellation in Austria takes shape. The traffic light coalition of ÖVP, SPÖ and NEOS has reached an agreement on the distribution of department. Chancellor becomes the ÖVP chairman Christian Stocker, while the ÖVP is preserved five ministries. The security -relevant departments inner and defense remain under the control of Gerhard Karner and Klaudia Tanner. Another prominent name is Claudia Plakolm, who will act as the Minister of Family and Youth. In addition, the Ministry of Economic Affairs to Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer, the general secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, is to go, while Norbert Tottschnig remains in the Ministry of Agriculture. As reported, the division of the ministries is already fixed.

The SPÖ will take over six ministries, including the Ministry of Finance, the ex-village general director Alexander Wrabetz as possible leader. The SPÖ boss Andreas Babler, who should also be responsible for sports, art and culture, becomes vice chancellor. Eva-Maria Holzleitner is traded as Minister of Women, while Sven Hergovich could lead the Ministry of Infrastructure. A central point will be the occupation of the Ministry of Justice, which also goes to the SPÖ. In addition to Muna Duzdar, the ex-legal assistant chamber President Michael Enzinger and judge Oliver Scheiber could also be favorites. These personnel decisions could be crucial for the structures of the new government, such as today reported.
