Gewessler will be the new boss of the Greens: a fresh start for the party!
Messe Wien, 1020 Wien, Österreich - On Sunday, June 28, 2025, Leonore Gewessler is elected as the new Federal Proker of the Greens. This is done as part of a party meeting in Vienna, where she succeeds Werner Kogler who returns to the National Council mandate. The special thing about this choice: Gewessler is completely supported by the party leadership without opposing candidates. With this choice, the political orientation of the Greens is also directed to a new phase.
GEUSSler, who has been working in federal politics since 2019 and previously known as Minister of Climate Protection, has profiled the ÖVP in her environmental, energy and traffic departments during the coalition. The turquoise-green coalition put their decision to support the controversial EU Renaturation Act and brought its personal risks. This courageous decision not only served her political profile, but also positioned it as the goal of attacks on the part of the economy and the FPÖ, which are against climate measures.
New course and challenges
The fifth woman at the head of the Greens isGewessler and plans to get a tour of Austria after going to the opposition to get in touch with the population. Under the other positions to be elected on the party executive, there are five other members of the federal board and a financial officer. The General Secretariat is abolished, a function that was previously occupied by Olga Voglauer. Bewesler will present her new role in front of 265 eligible delegates at the Federal Congress at the Vienna trade fair. After your speech and a hearing, the choice is made for a three -year term.
With her motto "Warm but hard", Bewesler wants to continue the Greens. She is currently wearing a shorter hairstyle that could symbolically stand for her fresh start. There were also candidates such as Alma Zadic, Stefan Kaineder and Sigrid Maurer, who were considered for the party leadership, but ultimately the decision fell on weights, which is strongly anchored in the party and is characterized by a consistent climate protection course.
In view of the challenges that the Greens expect in the opposition role, Gewessler's approach is crucial. She recently received her first call to order in the National Council for a statement to the government, which made it clear that she does not want to be in shade even during her term of office.For more information you can report on vienna.at , Oe24.at and orf.at read.
