  AUSTRIA GETS NEW CHANCELLOR WITH STRONG COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL JUSTICE
  
  Commenting on the announcement today of a new Government in Austria led by Social Democrat Alfred Gusenbauer, Poul Nyrup Rasmussen, President of the Party of European Socialists, said
  
  “The people of Austria voted last October for a fairer society and after months of waiting they will finally get a new Chancellor with a strong commitment to social justice. Alfred Gusenbauer is someone who has fought all his political career for better opportunities for ordinary people. He cares passionately about decent jobs, about good education, about quality public services.”
  
  “I congratulate Alfred Gusenbauer. He has been the driving force in creating this new Government. If his coalition partners give him the chance he will be a progressive and capable driving force for a better and more inclusive Austria. ”
  
  “Alfred Gusenbauer is also a committed European and I think we will see Austria increasingly engaged and active in Europe on jobs, economic growth and social justice.”
