Life

Dietmar Schmittner visited in the Salzburg district Mülln the elementary school and the Christian-Doppler-school and secondary school , where he who in 1977 Matura took off. After a year of military service , he studied law at the University of Salzburg from 1978 to 1982 .

After a year as a study assistant at the Institute for Roman and Civil Law at the University of Salzburg, Schmittner joined the state service and in 1984 became a consultant at the district administration of the Hallein district . In 1986 he became a clerk in the office of the Salzburg state government.

Schmittner joined the FPÖ relatively late in 1993 . Only a year later he became secretary in the office of Provincial Councilor Karl Schnell . Within the party, however, Schmittner was only successful at the municipal level when he took over the leadership of the FPÖ local group in Puch near Hallein from 1996 to 2000 .

In June 2013 Schmittner not only became a member of the Federal Council, but also a public prosecutor of the FPÖ Salzburg. After serious internal party disputes and the split of the FPÖ Salzburg in June 2015, Schmittner sided with his political companion Karl Schnell, who founded a new party under the name Die Freiheitlichen in Salzburg , and thus against Federal Party Chairman Heinz- Christian Strache . Thereupon Schmittner was expelled from the FPÖ on June 16, 2015 by decision of the federal party executive, together with others who had sided with Schnell. At the same time he was expelled from the FPÖ Bundesrat parliamentary group, making him currently a non-party member of the Bundesrat.

In the fall of 2011, he was suspended from duty. He was accused, among other things, of having carried out actions relevant to the proceedings outside of his official work in the interests of the applicant party and of having based the decision to be taken by the authorities accordingly, further contrary to the instructions, in various proceedings, although he was assigned the position of a procedural authority body To have advised his superior citizen legally and to have drafted an official submission for them. The disciplinary proceedings culminated in Schmittner's release in February 2012. This decision - which was fiercely opposed by the FPÖ also on a political level to the responsible ÖVP regional councilor Josef Eisl - was finally confirmed in October 2014 by the Salzburg Regional Administrative Court.

After the state elections in Salzburg in 2018 , he left the Federal Council on June 12. At the end of June 2018, he announced that he would compete in the 2019 municipal council election with an alternative for Salzburg (AfS) based on the model of the Alternative for Germany (AfD).
