As far as this summer vacation is concerned, Austria’s top politicians are quite attached to their homeland. On a broadcast, no one mentioned exotic destinations – if they don’t go on vacation to Austria, they usually go to classic European vacation destinations like Italy, Croatia or France. Many politicians want to spend a few walking days in their home area. Family Minister Susanne Raab packs a backpack for her first summer vacation with a child.
It’s always interesting to see what the government member in charge of tourism does in the summer. Specially installed State Secretary Susanne Kraus-Winkler spends a few days with her family in Southern Styria. We also go to Salzburg on the occasion of the festival. Minister of the Family Raab is going on holiday in Salzburg for the first time this year with a child. Accordingly, a rear carrier is included in the luggage for hiking. Hiking at Weißensee is the holiday plan of Minister of Climate Protection Leonore Gewessler (Greens). Family visits in Styria should also go out.
“Nowhere is more beautiful than ‘dahoam'” is the motto of Social Affairs Minister Johannes Rauch (Greens), which is why he comes to rest for a few days in Vorarlberg. Hiking, swimming, biking, visiting family and friends are all on his agenda. Also, but not only at home – in this case in the Innviertel – is ÖVP club president August Wöginger. Stays in Tyrol and Salzburg are also planned.
Two politicians are attracted to South Croatia
SPÖ leader Pamela Rendi-Wagner cannot do without either. She is with her family on the Tauplitz. You can then breathe in the sea air in Italy. Her deputy in the club, Jörg Leichtfried, who sails in Dalmatia, will sail the high seas. Justice Minister Alma Zadic (Greens) is also attracted to South Croatia. She also goes to a holiday resort in Dalmatia, after which she goes hiking.
Vice Chancellor Werner Kogler (Greens) will not be on vacation until the second half of August, and only if time permits. The holiday destination is unclear. The only certainty is that it will be a train journey. Spokeswoman Sibylle Hamann, who travels with Interrail to Poland, Sweden and Finland, has young plans in this regard, the last destination will also be a small working holiday.
Schallenberg’s children have a say in the holiday destination
Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg (ÖVP) is leaving for a beach holiday by the sea. However, it has not yet been decided where. The family council with their four children has yet to agree on this. European Minister Karoline Edtstadler (ÖVP), on the other hand, has already made a decision. Her summer vacation takes her to France in August. Finance Minister Magnus Brunner (ÖVP) will not go on holiday with his family until the second holiday month. The destination is unknown.
Plakolm is looking forward to “Woodstock of brass band music”
But State Secretary for Youth Claudia Plakolm (ÖVP) knows all the better how her summer starts – namely nowadays with the “Woodstock of Brass Music” in Ort im Innkreis. Otherwise, the passionate musician will spend classical holidays in Austria with friends. Like every year, FPÖ president Herbert Kickl is also drawn to the mountains and prefers local peaks. The other requested top politicians did not disclose their holiday plans.
