Chancellor of Austria: Encyclopedia II - Prime Minister - Entry into office

In parliamentary systems a prime minister can enter into office by a number of means. by appointment by the Head of State, without reference to parliament: In most Westminster systems (including Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom) the appointment of the Prime Minister is a royal prerogative exercised by the Queen or the Governor-General. No parliamentary vote takes place on who is forming a government. However as the government will have to outline its legislative programme to parliament in the Speech f ...

Chancellor of Austria: Encyclopedia II - Wolfgang Schüssel - Policies

The government's attempts at achieving a balanced budget (called "Nulldefizit") — while being more successful than similar attempts in some other European countries — have failed. Some of the effect was reached by raising taxes and fees, but quite significant cost-cutting measures were undertaken, many of which caused significant criticism. For example, the Austrian education system has suffered considerably, as is shown by the PISA study released in 2004. Costs are being cut at universities, even though the government proclaims that it will bring teaching and research to a "world-class" level. Cost-cutting in the secur ...

Chancellor of Austria: Encyclopedia II - Bruno Kreisky - Political views and programs

In office, Kreisky and his close ally, Justice Minister Christian Broda, pursued a policy of liberal reform, in a country which had a tradition of conservative Catholicism. He reformed Austria's family law and its prisons, and he decriminalised abortion and homosexuality. Nevertheless he sought to bridge the gap between the Catholic Church and the Austrian Socialist movement and found a willing collaborator in the then Archbishop of Vienna, Franz Cardinal König. Kreisky promised to reduce the mandatory military service from nine to six mont ...

Chancellor of Austria: Encyclopedia II - Fred Sinowatz - The Waldheim Affair

Before the 1986 Austrian Presidential Elections, during a meeting of the steering committee of the Burgendland SPÖ, according to a later rendering by Ottilie Matysek, Sinowatz insinuated that one would have to point out to the Austrians that the Austrian People's Party's candidate, Kurt Waldheim, had a "brown" (i.e. Nazi) past. By an indiscretion, this remark was passed on to the weekly magazine profil, which started to invest ...

Chancellor of Austria: Encyclopedia II - Prime Minister - Style of a prime minister

The title prime minister is a job title that does not form part of the prime minister's name. It is therefore poor style to refer to “Prime Minister Blair”, just as it would be strange to call someone “Bus Driver Edwards”. The correct form is "Prime Minister Tony Blair" or "Tony Blair, Prime Minister". This mistake is particularly common in the United States, where a high office title is often adopted as if it were a military rank. The title of prime minister is lost when the officer holder ceases to be prime minister. ...

Chancellor of Austria: Encyclopedia II - Benita Ferrero-Waldner - Private life

From 1974 till 1983 Waldner was married to Wolfgang Sterr, a Bavarian high school teacher. They got a divorce, and in 1993 Waldner married Francisco Ferrero Campos, who teaches Spanish and Latin American literature at the University of Vienna. In December 2003, Ferrero-Waldner married her husband again in church, after her previous marriage had finally been annulled. Although the wedding took place in a very private ceremony, the news was immediately leaked to the press. This, some of Ferrero-Waldner's critics claim, was done on purpose to a ...

Chancellor of Austria: Encyclopedia II - Prime Minister - Prime ministers and constitutions

The position, power and status of prime ministers differ depending on the age of the constitution in individuals. Britain's constitution, being uncodified and largely unwritten, makes no mention of a prime minister. Though it had de facto existed for centuries, its first mention in official state documents did not occur until the first decade of the twentieth century. Australia's Constitution makes no mention of a prime minister of Australia. The office h ...

Chancellor of Austria: Encyclopedia II - History of Vienna - Ständestaat and Third Reich

The fire of the Justizpalast ("Palace of Justice") in 1927 after a judicial error following violent demonstrations, the collapse of the largest bank of the country, and finally the dissolution of parliament in 1933 marked the way to the Civil War in February of 1934. After Engelbert Dollfuß, who had been Chancellor of Austria and foreign minister since 1932, had forbidden the Nazi Party, the Communist Party and the Schutzbund in 1933, this ban began to cover the Social Democratic Party in 1934 after the February Uprising. Only the Va ...

Chancellor of Austria: Encyclopedia II - History of Vienna - Second Republic

On April 29, 1945 the parliament building passed from the occupation force to the new Austrian government, and Karl Renner announced the reinstitution of the democratic Republic of Austria. Vienna was divided into four occupation zones between the Soviet Union, the USA, the UK and France. The fir ...

Chancellor of Austria: Encyclopedia II - History of Vienna - World War I and First Republic

World War I (1914-1918) did not result in an immediate threat to Vienna, but it led to a lack of supplies because of the economic embargo imposed by the entente powers, which resulted in a shortage in food and clothes. The end of the war was also the end of Austria-Hungary. On November 12, 1918, the Republic of Deutsch-Österreich was proclaimed in front of the parliament. The population was concentrated in ...

Chancellor of Austria: Encyclopedia II - History of Vienna - Babenbergs

In 976, the Margraviate of Austria was given to the Babenberg family. Vienna lay at its border to Hungary. Vienna was an important site of trade as early as the 11th century. In the Exchange of Mautern between the Bishop of Passau and Margrave Leopold IV, Vienna is mentioned as a Civitas for the first time, which indicates the existence of a well-ordered settlement. In 1155, Henry Jasomirgott made Vienna his capital. In 1156, Austria was raised to a duchy in the Privilegium Minus, with Vienna becoming the seat of the duke. ...

Chancellor of Austria: Encyclopedia II - History of Vienna - Roman beginnings and early middle ages

As is shown by the pre-Latin, the Celtic name for the civilian settlement in the area was Vindobona, which demonstrates that the region must have been inhabited even in pre-Roman times. The Romans created a military camp (occupied by Legio X Gemina) during the 1st century on the site of the Innere Stadt of present-day Vienna. The settlement was raised to the status of a municipium in 212. Even today, the streets of the First District show where the enc ...

Chancellor of Austria: Encyclopedia II - Prime Minister - Prime ministers in republics and in monarchies

The post of prime minister is one which may be encountered both in constitutional monarchies (such as Belgium, Denmark, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and in republics in which the head of state is an elected (such as France) or unelected official (such as Germany) with varying degrees of real power. This contrasts with the presidential system, in which the President (or equivalent) is both the head of state and the head of the government.

Chancellor of Austria: Encyclopedia II - Prime Minister - Exit from office

Contrary to popular and journalistic myth, most prime ministers in parliamentary systems are not appointed for a specific term of office and in effect may remain in power through a number of elections and parliaments. For example, Margaret Thatcher was only ever appointed prime minister on one occasion, in 1979. She remained continuously in power until 1990, though she used the assembly of each House of Commons after a general election to reshuffle her cabinet. Some states, however, do have a term of office of the prime ministe ...
