SPÖ: Babler introduces new government team - who are the ministers?

After months of hard negotiations and a bitter dispute over ministerial posts, the SPÖ has now entered the light of the political stage with a newly formed government tip. At a board meeting on Friday, the coalition agreement with the ÖVP and the NEOS was decided with a large majority, despite some resistance within the party. The presentation of the new government team took place in the afternoon under the direction of the designated Federal Chancellor Andreas Babler, who is also responsible for residential construction, media, culture and sport, as krone.at reported.

The SPÖ is formed by a strong team: Finance Minister becomes Markus Marterbauer, who is also known as an AK economist. Peter Hanke, Vienna's Finance City Council, takes over the Ministry of Infrastructure. Korinna Schumann will also enter the government as Minister of Social Affairs. A remarkable detail: The former Lower Austrian State Councilor Ulrike Königsberger-Ludwig will work as a state secretary in the health sector, while former Transport Minister Jörg Leichtfried will lead state protection in the Interior Ministry. These are crucial items that are of central importance for the upcoming political challenges, such as Sn.at
