The reorganization in the federal party is now also having an impact on the Vienna ÖVP: State manager and non-executive city councilor Bernadette Armoldner resigned from all her functions on Monday, the eXXpress had already reported on this emerging development on Sunday. She wants to get involved again in the private sector. “Almost four years ago, Gernot Blümel moved me to step out of the private sector and into politics. Working with him was a wonderful experience for me, in which I learned a lot from him politically and personally, ”she is quoted in a party broadcast. “It was always clear to me that my political commitment was designed for a limited period of time and that in the end I would return to the private sector. That time has now come and I am resigning from my posts as state manager and not a city councilor. In addition, the new designated state party leader should of course also be able to choose his team himself. “
He immediately sprinkled her with roses to say goodbye: “Arnoldner is handing over a very well-ordered house – I wish her all the best for her personal and professional future with all my heart. It will always be and remain part of the Vienna People’s Party, ”emphasized Karl Mahrer. For a transitional period, she will remain with the People’s Party team and support a regular handover.
