 "Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker to have routine back surgery during autumn break.")
Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker is scheduled to have a routine medical procedure next week to address ongoing back pain. His office announced that the operation will take place during the autumn half-term break at the end of October. Following the surgery, Stocker plans to continue his duties from home once he is discharged from the hospital.
The chancellor has been dealing with the discomfort for some time, and medical professionals recommended the procedure as a necessary measure. Despite the upcoming operation, Stocker remains committed to fulfilling his responsibilities and plans to work remotely during his recovery. This approach will allow for a continuity of governance while ensuring the chancellor receives appropriate medical care.
The scheduled timing during a holiday period is intended to minimize disruption to government operations. Stocker’s office has assured the public that his condition is manageable and the surgery routine, signaling no immediate concerns over his ability to lead the country during this time.
