Elisabeth Schwetz: New People's Prosecutor for Vienna with a focus on social services

Vienna. On Wednesday, Elisabeth Schwetz was appointed the new prosecutor of the National Council. It takes the place of Walter Rosenkranz, who has returned to parliament. Schwetz brings an extensive experience because she most recently worked as the district chief of the Wels-Land district. Your professional background could prove to be advantageous for the new challenges.

The decision to appoint Schwetz was proposed by the FPÖ, supported by the parties ÖVP, SPÖ and the Greens. Only the Neos voted against this proposal. Stephanie Krisper and Olga Voglauer expressed their concerns about the selection process, in particular the lack of transparency when ordering. This criticism could indicate a growing need for clear and understandable procedures in political decision -making.

experiences and qualifications by Elisabeth Schwetz

Norbert Nemeth from the FPÖ stated that Schwetz was particularly suitable due to her role as an chairwoman of the Wels-Land Social Welfare Association. In this position, she was not only responsible for the management of old people's homes, but also for the concerns of people with disabilities. This experiences could benefit her in her new function as a public lawyer, since she can now also check the functioning of such facilities. In addition, Schwetz has already successfully completed a leadership course in Upper Austria and training at the federal administrative academy. Your qualifications make you a strong addition to the team of the public prosecutor's office.

With Schwetz, the trio of the public prosecutor is complete again because she will work together with Gaby Schwarz (ÖVP) and Bernhard Achitz (SPÖ). Her term of office, like that of her colleagues, ends in June 2025, which underlines the importance of her role in the coming years.
