Four years after being kicked off the ÖBB Supervisory Board by the FPÖ, ex-Siemens boss and SPÖ doyenne Brigitte Ederer returns as President. Five days after the election.

The news came on election Sunday (and the minus for the Greens): Andrea Reithmayer is stepping down as Chairwoman of the ÖBB Supervisory Board; her term of office would have run until the middle of next year. According to reports, she will move to a management position in the second or third level of ÖBB-Infrastruktur.
