Austrian Vice-Chancellor-designate Marterbauer defers SPÖ leadership question

Markus Marterbauer, designated Austrian Vice-Chancellor, stated he will discuss the SPÖ chairmanship question later, indicating a deliberate deferral of internal party leadership issues. This suggests a potential rift or unresolved succession within the SPÖ as the new government forms. The statement 'We are not indebted to each other' hints at a distancing from current party leader Babler, but the exact implications for coalition stability remain unclear.
