New SPÖ minister
Anna Sporrer: Justice remains in left-wing women’s hands
Anna Sporrer is already the sixth woman to head the judiciary. On paper, the 62-year-old redhead has everything that is needed for a ministerial office.
In 2013, Sporrer became head of the Administrative Court as part of a grand coalition compromise. ÖVP member Rudolf Thienel became president and Sporrer, who was supported by the SPÖ, became his deputy. Now the Supreme Court judge has made the leap to the top of the judiciary - the 62-year-old is already the sixth woman to hold this position.
Sporrer gained political experience in the 1990s. She served in the cabinet of the then Minister for Women's Affairs, Helga Konrad. Not so long ago, she even served for a few months as head of cabinet for Women's Affairs Minister Gabriele Heinisch-Hosek.
The Mödling native's career has been shaped by justice and feminism, with positions in the Constitutional Service and on equal treatment and bioethics commissions. The newly appointed Minister of Justice should have stamina - after all, running is one of her hobbies. Her most important task: Sporrer must install a three-member senate as the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office.
On Saturday, Sporrer and her husband Robert Wiesner, who ran the ORF political magazine "Report" for many years, made a rendezvous at the Lawyers' Ball in the Vienna Hofburg. The mother of one daughter has a soft spot for southern Burgenland.
