Salzburg’s first female governor

Salzburg is not likely to have a new governor, but a female governor. The "Krone" commentary mistakenly referred to the first woman to head the province.

I made a mistake in my commentary on the growing signs since the Christmas holidays that Constitutional Minister Karoline Edtstadler (ÖVP) will take over from Wilfried Haslauer in July. I had written that Edtstadler would be Salzburg's first female governor. That is of course wrong.

With Gabriele Burgstaller (SPÖ), Salzburg naturally already had a governor. I apologize for this error.
