Eva-Maria Holzleitner is one of the SPÖ’s hopes. As Minister for Women, Research and Science, she hasn’t performed particularly well when it comes to “austerity measures for universities”. She gave her clients the impression that research and science were not that important to the government and therefore also to the SPÖ. The effect: angry protests from professors and students with a 30,000-participant demo in Vienna. And the impression that the future topic of science and research is not important to the SPÖ.
