Greek-Austrian Maria Vasilakou – the head of the Greens Party parliamentary group in the local parliament of the federal state of Vienna – was elected by an overwhelming 98.65% as party leader for the Vienna local and municipal elections in October 2010. Some 1,500 party members attended yesterday’s meeting, and another 450 “party supporters” also voted.
In a speech after her election, the ethnic Greek politician slammed the Greens’ political rivals, the Social Democrats and the conservative People’s Party, as well as the other two smaller opposition parties.
