When and Where the SPÖ Party Congress Takes Place

The upcoming regular federal party conference of the SPÖ will take place on March 7 in Vienna. The party announced this on Friday. Incumbent Andreas Babler is likely to be the only candidate for the election as party chairman. Since no one came forward with the necessary signatures for a candidacy during a four-week application phase, a member vote is omitted and the party conference will decide. Babler was already nominated by the party executive a few weeks ago.

Manninger and Zehetner as International Secretaries

In today's meeting of the federal party executive, the international secretariat of the party was also newly appointed. Women's federal managing director Ruth Manninger and Babler's foreign policy advisor Thomas Zehetner succeed Maria Maltschnig, who has resigned from her party functions.
