What role will Austria play in the future in the European Commission? Apparently a very important one, as a secret document leaked from Brussels to the “Krone” shows. What mega-departments are possible for the current Finance Minister Magnus Brunner in Brussels and what topics could concern the other commissioners.
Almost exactly a month before the deadline set by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and yet much later than expected, the black-green federal government agreed to appoint ÖVP Finance Minister Magnus Brunner as the red-white-red EU commissioner ticket. Since then, it has become quiet around the finance minister.
Three good variations
Behind the scenes of the Union, however, much gambling was done on the allocation of departments for the next Commission. A provisional status of the negotiations, recently reported by the political magazine Politico, was apparently also put on paper and passed on to the “Krone”. What role will Magnus Brunner and thus Austria play in the future in the European Commission? There are three variants that have one thing in common. They would all cover important areas of responsibility.
