Emmerling to be responsible for NEOS education department

As Deputy Mayor, Emmerling will be responsible for the education department, among other things, NEOS state spokesperson and Education Minister Christoph Wiederkehr announced in a statement. The 45-year-old is passionate "for the best education" and has many years of experience as an education spokesperson and club chairwoman, he emphasized.

"Together with Education Minister Christoph Wiederkehr, we will ensure that the school around the corner is the best school for all children," Emmerling said about her plans. In the past five years, she was the club chairwoman of the Vienna NEOS, and after Wiederkehr's move to federal politics, she became Deputy Mayor. In the Vienna election, she ran in second place on the NEOS list behind Selma Arapović but often appeared as the frontwoman.
