Austria: how to get a Minister to 27 years

President of the youth of the Austrian people's Party (OVP) since 2009, Kurtz was appointed Secretary of State for Integration in 2011 within the grand coalition that returned to agree to continue to govern Austria after the September Legislative.

Kurtz will accumulate the integration with diplomacy, a folder until now in the hands of his boss, the leader of the Conservatives, Michael Spindelegger that assumes the management of finance.

Despite the center-right and the center-left have achieved the worst results in the history, managed to ensure a short absolute majority that allows the social democrat Werner Faymann to continue ahead of the Chancellery.

Negotiations to renew the Coalition were long and difficult, after a ballot marked by the strong rise of the extreme right and the agreement reached disillusioned social democrat youth who accuses the Chancellor of betraying the values of the party to be able to continue to govern.

As for Kurtz, young is the great hope of the conservatives for the future. In Austria, one of the countries with the lowest unemployment rate in the world, the political experience seems to outweigh academic degree when it comes to addressing the country's foreign policy, but there are also some people consider that the appointment of Kurtz is the sign of the desperation of a people's Party in the political twilight.
