Green departure in Vienna: Prack takes over as a club chairman!

On Monday, June 2, 2025, the Green Club in Vienna set up a new team in the town hall. Alexander Prack was elected as the new club chairman, while Judith Pühringer and Peter Kraus were confirmed as city councilors with a clear majority. Prack, who has been active in the green movement for several years, takes over the management of David Ellensohn, who has been recognized for his long -term professional work.

Prack, who is 41 years old and comes from Steyr, has a lot of experience. He has been a member of the state parliament and local council in Vienna since 2020. Previously, from 2008 to 2015 he was the district council in the 10th district and has been a member of the Greens since 2003. "We want to make the Greens a leading opposition party," said Prack in his first statement. "We do not see ourselves as an opponent, but as a constructive towards the new city government," he added.

focus on important topics

Judith Pühringer will concentrate on the topics of the labor market and people with disabilities. Peter Kraus, on the other hand, will act as an expert in climate protection and queer policy. Both city councils have already emphasized that they are committed to working in their new functions and thank Ellensohn for his tireless efforts.

The new team has clear goals: the Greens want to exert pressure for necessary changes in Vienna, especially in the areas of affordable living, education and climate protection. "We appear for a consequent and constructive opposition policy," says Julia Malle, who will act as a deputy club chairman.

The extended team

In addition to Prack, Pühringer and Kraus, the green town hall club comprises other committed members:

• Jennifer Kickert
• Hans Arsenovic (business spokesman)
• Berîvan Aslan (human rights spokesman)
• Niki Kunrath (family and cultural spokeswoman)
• Ursula Berner (environmental spokeswoman)
• Huem Otero García (health and care spokeswoman)
• Barbara Huemer (budget speaker)
• Martin Margulies (mobility and planning spokesman)
• Heidi Sequence
• Kilian Stark (educational speaker)
• Felix Stadler
• Viktoria Spielmann (social and women's spokeswoman)

With this broad spectrum of specialist skills and a clear focus on constructive opposition work, the Green Party is optimistic about the next political phase. "We will fight for the important topics of our city and ensure that the voice of the Greens can be heard loudly and clearly," emphasize the new managers.
