Ms Schwetz considers the low-threshold access to the Austrian Ombudsman Board to be particularly important: "The consultation days in the provinces are also very well received. This direct contact was and is very important to me. I would like to thank all the people who have placed their trust in me! I am a friend of clear words. Thanks to my many years as a district governor, I know the viewpoint of the authorities, which has enabled me to categorise the cases brought to the Ombudsman Board and assess the prospects of success," says Elisabeth Schwetz, who will resume her work as district governor of Wels-Land.
"I would like to thank Federal Party Chairman Herbert Kickl and the Freedom Party for the trust they placed in me with my nomination as Ombudswoman. I am convinced that my designated successor, Dr Christoph Luisser, will also perform the honourable task of Ombudsman with great commitment and professional expertise," concluded Elisabeth Schwetz.
