New momentum for women's policy: Holzleitner celebrated in the Carinthian state parliament!

When visiting the new Federal Minister of Women, Science and Research, Eva-Maria Holzleitner, in the Carinthian state parliament, there was an overwhelming support for the women-specific topics in the recently presented government program. "Women's politics does not belong to the edge, but with Eva-Maria Holzleitner we have the right woman in the right place to bring a breath of fresh air to women's policy", the members of the SPÖ state club Carinthia were united, such as klick-kaernten.at reported. Holzleitner, who was praised to her new office on March 3, 2025, brings a breath of fresh air to politics after she previously worked as the Federal Frauen chairman of the SPÖ.

The desired program focuses on decisive points such as real freedom of choice, professional qualifications and women's health. Another important focus is to strengthen women's rights as well as violence prevention and the targeted support for entrepreneurs. "This program promises concrete improvements that actually arrive in the everyday life of women in Austria," emphasized Marika Lagger-Pöllinger, chairwoman of the women's and social committee, and the SPÖ social spokeswoman Ruth Feistritzer.

The conviction that Holzleitner will implement essential reforms is widespread among the SPÖ MPs. "We expect a breath of fresh air - and there is a tailwind for that," said the members of the state parliament. Holzleitner, who began her political career in the National Council in 2017 and has gained a wide range of experiences in various positions, is seen as a driver for changes. According to her last commitment in the National Council, she will now be the top candidate of the SPÖ Oberösterreich for the upcoming elections, as wikipedia.de
