Friday was a day of surprises for the SPÖ—both politically and personally: First, media executive Gerhard Zeiler announcedhis intention to succeed Andreas Babler as SPÖ leader, and then on Friday evening came the personal news. Styrian SPÖ leader Max Lercher and his girlfriend Michaela Grubesa tied the knot. The “Krone” has the first wedding photo of Mr. and Mrs. Lercher. 

“My wife—uh, my girlfriend—Michi unfortunately has a cold and isn’t here today,” explained Styrian SPÖ leader Max Lercher at his 40th birthday party on Thursday evening in Sankt Georgen am Kreischberg. Numerous party members from all over Austria gathered to celebrate the former SPÖ federal party secretary on the occasion of the SPÖ provincial leader’s 40th birthday. Former Chancellor Christian Kern also sent his congratulations to the birthday boy via video.

On Friday evening, the Red Party leader’s milestone birthday was celebrated once again—complete with a big surprise for the guests invited to the birthday party, which also immediately explained the slip of the tongue from the previous day: Lercher and his longtime girlfriend, Michaela Grubesa, tied the knot. A touching surprise for all the guests.

Not even their parents knew about it beforehand
Mr. and Mrs. Lercher—as they are now known—celebrated at the Kohlröserlhütte on Lake Ödensee with a “small group” of about 100 people. As the “Krone” has learned, not even the parents knew about it beforehand. The celebration, as was already clear on Friday evening, would certainly last into the early hours of the morning.
