Karoline Edtstadler: Political return to Salzburg as a lawyer
An important turn in Austrian politics: Karoline Edtstadler, the current Minister for Europe and the Constitution, has decided to step back from top politics. As a spokesman recently announced, she will continue her ministerial duties until a new government is formed, after which she would like to return to Salzburg to work as a lawyer.
Edtstadler, who has been active in politics since 2017, will continue to be active as a member of the National Council. She emphasizes that she wants to represent Salzburg's interests with commitment over the next five years. “I see the strong result in the National Council elections that I received in Salzburg as a mission,” she said. She is currently still on the ÖVP negotiating team for the coalition talks and is ready to continue her role in this context.
A look back at her political career
Karoline Edtstadler's career is impressive: In 2017, she first became State Secretary in the Ministry of the Interior under Herbert Kickl from the FPÖ. In 2019 she had a seat in the EU Parliament, and in 2020 she was appointed Minister of the Chancellery. Nevertheless, before the National Council election, she was considered a possible candidate for the post of Austrian EU Commissioner, for which Magnus Brunner was ultimately chosen.
Switching to the legal profession represents a significant step in her professional life. She will certainly be able to bring her legal expertise from her political work into her new role. This move underlines the diverse nature of her career and the desire to become more involved in the local community.
Edtstadler's decision to distance himself from top politics is notable, especially at a time when political roles are often viewed as extremely demanding and stressful. It remains of interest to see how the political discussions continue and what role she can take on in the National Council in the future. Your return to Salzburg could bring a breath of fresh air into the local political landscape. Details about this incident can be found here.
