A new coalition has been in place in Burgenland since this week: Governor Hans Peter Doskozil (SPÖ) and Deputy Governor Anja Haider-Wallner (Greens) on future projects, the ability to compromise and a point that one would not normally expect to find in a red-green government program.

A week full of course-setting is coming to an end in Burgenland. The first red-green government was elected and sworn into office in the state parliament. Governor Hans Peter Doskozil (SPÖ) and his new deputy Anja Haider-Wallner (Greens) have a packed program. Nevertheless, both appear relaxed during the interview in the state government meeting room.
