NEOS with 94.13%: A new departure for education and transparency!

Wien, Österreich - On June 7, 2025, an important step for the NEOS party was announced. The Neos Secretary General Douglas Hoyos congratulated the Neos Vienna on an overwhelming membership vote for the work program, which was developed together with the SPÖ. In the general meeting, which Hoyos referred to as the "high festival of intra -party democracy", impressive 94.13 percent of the members voted for the first government participation of the NEOs at the federal level. This is a historical moment, less than 13 years after the party was founded.

This positive result confirms the support for Neos Vienna and Vice Mayor Bettina Emmerling in her tasks within the city government. It was also reported that 97 percent of the government program of 2020 has already been implemented, which underlines the effectiveness of previous work.

new management team and goals

The Neos party chairman Beate Meinl-Reisinger, who will take over the office of Foreign Minister in the future, spoke of a clear mandate for the "upswing coalition" after the vote. The members of the NEOs rely on topics such as education, relief, transparency, the rule of law, generation fairness and strong European values. Therefore, the role of Christoph Return is particularly emphasized as the future NEOS Minister of Education, who is aiming for renewal in the field of education. This includes innovations that have already been successfully implemented in Vienna and the goal of expanding these reforms into all of Austria.

Sepp Schellhorn, the future NEOS State Secretary for Deregulation, underlined the need to reduce bureaucratic hurdles in order to enable more effective government action. The NEOS see themselves as a united team that is clearly committed to his values and is working on effective solutions for current challenges.

Julia German as the new Federal Councilor

In this context, the newly elected Federal Councilor Julia Deutsch was also presented. She is an experienced district politician and has valuable experiences as a district councilor and club chairman of Neo's new building. Your task will be to represent the concerns of the youth in the Federal Council, which is of great importance for the NEOS.

Overall, the positive vote at the general meeting shows that the citizens have a positive effect on the politics of Neos and their approach to government work. This is supported by the success of the NEOS in Vienna, where the party was able to achieve double -digit results for the first time in the election in April. This trend is not only perceived by the members, but also by the general public.

The NEOS party is at an important turning point that both brings new challenges and offers the opportunity to build on what has already been achieved and look further into the future. The changes that are now to be initiated at the federal level reflect the will to actively work for a positive development in Austria
