politics

Schrott had been regional chairman of the Young People's Party of Tyrol since 2013 and from 2015 to November 2017 he was the federal representative of the young ÖVP under the then federal chairman and later Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz . On November 9, 2017, Schrott was sworn in as a member of the National Council. In the previous election campaign, he had received 7,093 preferential votes and thus reached the preferential vote barrier to overtake the first in the list, Elisabeth Pfurtscheller , and to enter the National Council.

Due to the increasing reports of suspected irregularities in the previous election campaign, Schrott announced on August 26, 2018 that it would resign from his national council mandate and all other public offices. In the context of the relevant broadcast, Schrott described the allegations as "unfounded" and emphasized that he was assuming full discharge in the context of the legal clarification.

National Council election in 2017 and resignation in 2018

In the national elections in Austria in 2017 , an election recommendation for scrap with the signature of Sebastian Kurz caused a sensation, which was allegedly a so-called "communication error".

On August 21, 2018, blogger Markus Wilhelm uncovered suspected irregularities in a competition held by Dominik Schrott before the 2017 National Council election . It was reported that Schrott and his election campaign agency selected a person who was apparently acting under a pseudonym and who was employed by this agency as the “winner” of the competition. Subsequently, funding from the State of Tyrol in the amount of 24,000 euros was also highlighted, for which, according to Wilhelm, no service was provided.

The discoveries led to nationwide reporting and calls for resignation from other parties as well as from his own party. On August 26, 2018, Schrott finally announced his resignation from all functions, and on September 5, 2018 renounced his mandate in the National Council, the day after Elisabeth Pfurtscheller was sworn in as his successor in Parliament. Sophia Kircher was appointed as his successor as regional chairwoman of the Young People's Party in Tyrol .

On September 7, Schrott announced that he would repay the funding of 24,000 euros in full. Prior to this, the responsible regional councilor, Beate Palfrader , announced that a considerable part of the funding would have to be repaid due to a lack of evidence of the use of the funds.

After the formation of the Federal Government Kurz II in January 2020, he moved to the cabinet of Interior Minister Karl Nehammer .
