Chancellor Christian Stocker asked the departing governor of Salzburg Wilfried Haslauer at the ÖVP State Party Conference to support him in the reform of federalism. However, this is still undecided whether he should not prefer the political pension of the Herculean task.
The rumor has been circulating in the Vienna Political Public Prosecutor’s Office for days. Chancellor Christian Stocker made it public at the Salzburg ÖVP State Party Conference, where Karoline Edtstadler was installed as the new leader of the state party and the future governor.
In his speech, he not only sprinkled roses, state captain Wilfried Haslauer, but also asked a request to the Grandsuigneur of the ÖVP. He does not yet have to give up from the political stage. Stocker’s Wish: Haslauer should be given a game -decisive role in the planned reform of federalism. Wilfried Haslauer gave the start signal at the beginning of June during his last meeting as head of the Governor Conference.
Complex Get an administrative reform along the way
The explained goal: three project groups must develop corresponding reform proposals at the end of 2026 in terms of education, health and energy. The Salzburger must specify the tone, especially in the administrative reference between the federal government, the states and the municipalities. After 21 years at the top of the country, Haslauer has the necessary seniority and expertise to get such a difficult reform en route. Spö and Neos would also have given their approval of this idea to appoint Haslauer as a reform coordinator.
Behind the scenes you hear that Haslauer still hesitates whether he has to take over this gigantic task. Before the Salzburg State Party Conference, the signs were even more about cancellation. But can Haslauer refuse the publicly expressed by the Chancellor?
