The new state government provides for a clear value orientation that focuses on the protection of home and strengthening economic development. Manuela Khom, now as a deputy governor, expects a citizen-related, efficient and transparent policy that meet the current challenges with responsibility. "We want to implement concrete measures to continue to bring Styria forward," said Khom. In this context, the coalition talks between the FPÖ and ÖVP, which dragged on for a long time, also found their conclusion, which led to the agreement on different programs to secure the stability and quality of life in the region.
