According to his cabinet, Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen’s disk operation went well. The head of state is expected to recover next week. During this time, the 80-year-old will be represented by Chancellor Karl Nehammer.
This leads to the unusual constellation that the head of government may also inaugurate the State Governor of Vorarlberg, Markus Wallner (ÖVP), which is planned during this period. If Van der Bellen had been absent for more than twenty days, he should have been collegially represented by the Presidium of the National Council.
Van der Bellen thanked the many well wishes received over the weekend and looks forward to his return to office, the presidential office announced on Monday afternoon.
