Discussion about the new Lower Austrian state government: Mikl-Leitner at a distance
Then the governor of Lower Austria, Johanna Mikl-Leitner (ÖVP), also intervened: “As far as the statement is concerned, I think one word is enough, namely otherworldly.” It remains to be seen whether Waldhäusl can also belong to the next state government as before. She referred to ongoing discussions with the other parties, “where it is subsequently a question of who will be given real responsibility”. Waldhäusl had stated several times that he wanted to stay on. “If someone says they want to become one, it is not yet certain whether they will become one at all,” says Mikl-Leitner. The bodies of the FPÖ would have to decide that internally.
