Ombudsman Board mourns the death of Brigitte Bierlein

"Brigitte Bierlein has not only served our country as a highly respected lawyer, most recently as President of the Constitutional Court, but was also the first woman to assume responsibility at the head of the Austrian Federal Government.

She leaves a big gap," said Bernhard Achitz, Chairman of the Austrian Ombudsman Board, Ombudswoman Gaby Schwarz and Ombudsman Walter Rosenkranz:

"We mourn the loss of an extraordinary personality who repeatedly demonstrated her attachment to the Ombudsman Board. Even during her time as Federal Chancellor, she made time for visits to the Austrian Ombudsman Board. Our condolences go out to her family and friends."
