Neither the Freedom Party nor the Social Democrats in Salzburg believe that current minister Karoline Edtstadler (ÖVP) will actually withdraw. You see her in a waiting position.
Karoline Edtstadler’s withdrawal from top politics in the federal government continues to concern Salzburg politics. Especially because Governor Wilfried Haslauer unnecessarily closed the political door on the minister in Salzburg and demonstratively supported his deputy Stefan Schnöll as the future strong ÖVP man.
“The governor’s response surprised some people, how quickly and the way he responded to dispel speculation,” said Peter Eder. From January he will lead the Salzburg Social Democrats as a trio.
Svazek sees a stable government in Salzburg
Eder estimates that Edtstadler is in a holding position until something opens up. “Haslauer also said before the elections that he would never join the government with the FPÖ,” the AK president does not trust the matter. He sees a “flight forward” under the assumption that Edtstadler will no longer receive a ministerial post from the Salzburg state delegate. Marlene Svazek (FPÖ). “I also found the interpretation that she withdrew from top politics exciting,” Svazek said, adding: “A mandate from the National Council is also top politics.” She doesn’t see any impact on Salzburg. “The cooperation with the ÖVP is stable. “We will not jeopardize that,” she is convinced.
Michaela Schmidt, state councilor of the Salzburg SPÖ, sees something positive in Edtstadler’s withdrawal. Edtstadler remains in parliament as a representative of the Salzburg ÖVP. “I met her during the election campaign and I get along well with her. “I look forward to working together across party lines,” said Schmidt – new women’s power for Salzburg.
