The dVP has a new leader for their members in parliament. His name is Ernst Gddl. All members voted for him. This was on Tuesday.
Ernst Gddl is from Styria. He is 54 years old. He is a lawyer and a farmer. He works in parliament for 10 years. He was the speaker for security there.
His predecessor was August Wdginger. Wdginger resigned on Monday. A court in Linz convicted him. It is about the misuse of power. This happened during a job award.
The judgment against Wdginger is not final. He will fight against the judgment. He remains a member of parliament. He also remains the head of the worker union dAAB.
The change was peaceful. People clapped for Ernst Gddl. He wants to do good work. The dVP wants to look forward now.
