Transfer from the Chancellery – Schallenberg: “There is a lot at stake”

“Welcome to your new house, in your house,” said Schallenberg Stocker in the early Monday afternoon. When he had taken over the business of the Chancellor about two months ago, “no one could imagine that the transfer would be so friendly”. “The civil servant will receive you with open arms,” ​​said Schallenberg, Stocker will find a “great team” in the “engine of the Republic of Austria”.

Schallenberg: “It’s a good feeling”
He is happy that there is a “strong pro -European government at the top”, which clearly understands that “closing happiness” is not an option, but that international involvement is important in a phase, “where a lot is at stake”. “It is a good feeling to be able to hand over this office to you,” said his successor’s former KanSelier.

He himself would now “leave the field, but certainly not deduct the red and white and red sweater,” said the departing transition Chancellor and Foreign Minister. Stocker thanked for “this very warm and appreciative words and the friendly reception in the federal chancellery”. He also thanked Schallenberg for his service at the Republic: “You did it in your very special way and we also benefited from this kind”, he wished his predecessor the very best.

Stocker wants to be “federal Chancellor for everyone”
Went to the Austrians and the Turkish head of the government said he was aware of the great responsibility accompanied by the office. “I claim that I am a chancellor for everyone, not just for those who have chosen me.” There is a lot to do and he promises to be responsible “together with my team, with the coalition partners (…) with great joy, but also a great will to design”. “There is a lot to do.”
