Remains in the party
National Council President Sobotka has a new job
National Council President Wolfgang Sobotka will remain with his party: He will take over the chairmanship of the ÖVP Party Academy in October. The politician was previously one of the vice presidents.
The 68-year-old has been President of the National Council since December 2017. Prior to this, he was Minister of the Interior and Deputy Governor of Lower Austria. After studying history, violoncello and music education, he was also a teacher. His political career began in 1982 when he became a member of the Waidhofen municipal council.
The Lower Austrian will no longer be standing in the National Council elections in the fall. In the ÖVP party academy, he now succeeds Bettina Rausch-Amon, who announced her retirement after seven years, as reported by the "Niederösterreichische Nachrichten" newspaper.
Stocker: "Perfectly suited"
One of the first to congratulate him is ÖVP Secretary General Christian Stocker. "Anyone who knows Wolfgang Sobotka knows that he is perfectly suited to this office. Not only is he someone who honestly and consistently stands up for his convictions, he is also someone who is extremely artistic and intellectual," he said in a statement on Thursday evening. The Springerschlössl will continue to benefit from Rausch-Amon's achievements for a long time to come.
