Plan for National Council Sessions in the Coming Week is Set

The National Council resumes its work with the new government. The Presidium decided today that two sessions will take place next week.

For the first plenary day on Wednesday, the adjustment of the provisional budget is planned. On the second plenary day, the amendment of the National Fund Act will be addressed.

Amendment of the National Fund Act in the National Council

It is intended to allow National Council President Walter Rosenkranz (FPÖ) to fully delegate the management of the NS Victims' Fund to the Second National Council President Peter Haubner (ÖVP) or the Third National Council President Doris Bures (SPÖ), or to be partially represented. At the same time, a possibility for removal from office is being created.

Federal Chancellor Stocker in the Question Hour in the National Council

The session on Wednesday begins with a Current Hour, where the Greens can choose the topic. On Thursday, the new Federal Chancellor Christian Stocker (ÖVP) will face a question hour in the plenary for the first time. Another topic of the Presidium: In this year's anniversary year, a ceremony will be held in Parliament on May 15 to mark 70 years of the State Treaty. Shortly before that, on May 5, Parliament will commemorate the victims of National Socialism and the liberation of the Mauthausen concentration camp on the Day of Remembrance against Violence and Racism. This year's focus of the commemoration event is the learning and memorial site Schloss Hartheim.
