New faces in the KPÖ PLUS state executive board: women's power in Salzburg
The new state executive board was elected at the most recent state conference of KPÖ PLUS on Saturday. The party members unanimously confirmed Kay-Michael Dankl and his deputy Natalie Hangöbl in their positions. Furthermore, the state manager Sarah Pansy and the finance officer Christian Eichinger were confirmed in their positions. A notable newcomer is Cornelia Plank, who was previously the club chairwoman in the Salzburg municipal council. In addition, local councilor Roberta Jelinek, the spokesperson for the Young Left, and Max Rigele, the party office manager, are also members of the new board. With this constellation, the board consists of four female members, which reflects a particularly young leadership structure compared to other parties in the state of Salzburg.
These elections are particularly significant as they represent the result of a long and successful electoral process. Kay-Michael Dankl commented on the party's recent successes and emphasized that the new board represents a broader lineup. This reflects the growth of the last year and a half.
The KPÖ PLUS won a remarkable 12 percent of the vote in the 2023 state election, which secured the party four mandates in the state parliament. In the city of Salzburg they were even able to increase their seats from one to ten mandates and also establish themselves in other municipalities such as Hallein and Wals-Siezenheim. Dankl went on to say that the trust placed in him was an obligation to stand up for social issues and affordable housing. The goal is to involve even more volunteers and further promote the growth of the party.
The election of the new board could be seen as a turning point for the KPÖ PLUS, as the party finds itself in a position where it can build on its successes. The members are optimistic and ready to actively tackle the challenges ahead. There is great tension and anticipation for the new projects, and the party sees the time as favorable for targeted development.
