Approximately 87 steps to his eighth inauguration: Schallenberg is once again in charge of the chancellor’s agenda

The Foreign Minister knows the way to the Federal President. Not only from the regular conversations that the head of state has with “his” members of the government, but also from the official appointments: with seven, Alexander Schallenberg is the absolute record holder for appointments by Alexander Van der Bellen – the current incumbent has not sworn to anyone more often taken off. An eighth swearing-in was added on Friday.
