Austrian deputy chancellor to step up after leader quits
Austrian Deputy Chancellor Reinhold Mitterlehner will replace Chancellor Werner Faymann on an interim basis following the latter’s resignation, a spokeswoman for the presidency tells the Austria Press Agency.
Faymann is due to formally notify President Heinz Fischer of his resignation later Monday. Mitterlehner is from the center-right People’s Party (OeVP), coalition partner to Faymann’s Social Democrats (SPOe).
