Today, an Austrian woman missing since a week was found dead, presumably murdered by her former partner. Sadly, this is still a pattern. If confirmed, it may be the 15th femicide in Austria this year.

Today is the first of #16Days of world-wide action against violence against women.
A third of all women have experienced gender based violence. This has to stop.
Thank you dear colleagues from the 🇬🇪, 🇩🇪, 🇺🇦 and 🇺🇸 Consulates in #Kraków for joining efforts in this regard and to

Happy to join colleagues of @ambasadaaustrii.bsky.social including Trade and Defense branches for a meeting with the 🇵🇱-🇦🇹 Parliamentary Bilateral Friendship Group at the @kancelariasejmu.bsky.social in Warsaw earlier today. A rich exchange on many issues with lots of follow-up potential.

Last Tuesday, a very moving evening with the Ensemble for Contemporary Music playing the Opera Sketch „Liebesfluch“ on #Trakl by Hans #Kraus-Hübner to a packed #Cricoteka. Well deserved standing ovation!

On Tuesday, the #Conrad #Festival invited @danielwisser.bsky.social for a talk on his book about an MS patient, a piece of #radicalhope, indeed. Curious? So it made me. Will get to read „Die Königin der Berge“ as soon as possible.

Despite rather uncomfortable weather, it was great to see Potok’s #WorldWar I #cemetery so lovingly renovated in comparison to two years ago. Laid wreaths honouring all the fallen together with 🇦🇹 Black Cross and Mayor #Tomkiewicz of #Jedlicze.

Festive inauguration of #Klagenfurt Park (literally „Pocket Garden“) in #Rzeszów today, with mayor Fijołek, and counselor Habenicht - and the only all-girls brass band of Europe. Congratulations!
