Swearing-In of New Government in Live Stream

On Monday, Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen will swear in Austria's first three-party coalition at the Hofburg. The future Federal Chancellor Christian Stocker (ÖVP), 13 ministers, and seven state secretaries are expected at the Presidential Chancellery at 11 AM. Immediately afterward, the handover of office from the outgoing Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg (ÖVP) to Stocker will take place at the Federal Chancellery.

13 Ministers, Seven State Secretaries

Sworn in from the ÖVP will be Chancellor Christian Stocker and the ministers Gerhard Karner (Interior), Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer (Economy), Klaudia Tanner (Defense), Norbert Totschnig (Agriculture and Environmental Protection), and Claudia Plakolm (Youth, Family, EU, and Integration). For the SPÖ, Vice-Chancellor Andreas Babler (Housing, Art, Culture, Media, and Sport), Markus Marterbauer (Finance), Anna Sporrer (Justice), Korinna Schumann (Social Affairs and Health), Peter Hanke (Infrastructure and Transport), and Eva-Maria Holzleitner (Women and Science) will sit in the government, for the NEOS Beate Meinl-Reisinger (Foreign Affairs) and Christoph Wiederkehr (Education). Additionally, there will be three state secretaries each from the ÖVP and SPÖ, and one from the NEOS. On Monday, besides the swearing-in and the handover of the Chancellery, there will also be handovers in individual departments to the new ministers.

With the approval of the NEOS members' assembly for the coalition, it also overcame the last hurdle on Sunday. The respective boards of the ÖVP and SPÖ had already approved the government program and minister list on Friday.
