Karoline Edtstadler withdraws from top politics

The Austrian European and Constitutional Minister Karoline Edtstadler from the ÖVP has announced important news for the state's political landscape. It will withdraw from top politics and plans not to strive for a ministerial position in the upcoming government. Instead, she decided to continue her political career as a simple member of the National Council and to found a law firm in Salzburg in parallel.

Edtstadler will continue to exercise your ministerial office until a new government is formed. This decision is remarkable because she previously considered a promising candidate for the office of Austrian EU Commissioner, who finally went to Magnus Brunner. In an interview with the "Kronen Zeitung", she expressed that the positive election result she achieved in Salzburg is a clear order for her. It intends to represent the interests of her state in the next five years with full commitment in the National Council.

political career and current position

Edtstadler's political career began in 2017 as State Secretary in the Ministry of the Interior under Herbert Kickl (FPÖ) in the government of Sebastian Kurz. Two years later, she moved to the European Parliament and took over the office of Minister of Chancellor in 2020. At the moment she is still part of the ÖVP negotiation team for coalition talks, which shows that she will continue to be active in the political discussion, even though she does not want to continue her role as a minister.

The decision of Edtstadler to return to the National Council and to found a law firm could take your personal and professional interests into account and shows a change in your career strategy. Your plans to build a law firm in Salzburg could indicate a change to a less public, but potentially equally influential role.

A report by the "Kronen Zeitung" to Edtstadler's withdrawal was confirmed by ORF, which underpins the expectations of their next steps. It remains to be seen how her plan, to continue working as a national council, will have an impact on her voters and whether she can receive the same support with her new approach as before.
