Political career

Ewald Stadler was a community representative in Mäder between 1985 and 1996 and a member of the community council between 1990 and 1994. From 1989 to 1994 he was a member of the Vorarlberg state parliament , where he was chairman of the FPÖ state parliament club from 1991 to 1994 and during his active time in Vorarlberg state politics he held the function of the state party executive of the FPÖ Vorarlberg. Stadler moved on November 7, 1994 for the FPÖ via constituency 3 (Vorarlberg) to the National Council , of which he was a member until April 28, 1999. He was also a member of the federal party executive of the FPÖ. When he moved to Lower Austria in 1998, Stadler was deputy party chairman of the FPÖ Lower Austria and was regional councilor in Lower Austria between 1999 and 2001. Although he was counted among the so-called “ German national wing” of the FPÖ, he was also considered a proponent of previously rather rare conservative Catholic views in his party.

From July 1, 2001, he was an ombudsman at the federal level, responsible for trade and commerce, national defense, education and culture, the police and administration of justice. On May 8, 2002, the anniversary of the surrender of the German Wehrmacht , the Vienna Corporationsring organized the annual commemoration of the dead with a wreath-laying ceremony at the tomb of the unknown soldier in the outer castle gate on Heldenplatz in Vienna . This year, the speaker was also Ewald Stadler, who spoke out in favor of “dealing with our history without taboos” and named Horst Mahler, who was convicted of sedition in Germany, as an example of this approach, “who is also being prosecuted for it”.

In a speech in November 2005, Stadler spoke out against “multicultural daydreams” - referring to the unrest in France - and sarcastically commented on the EU financial aid with the sentence: “Maybe we should also set cars and kindergartens on fire, then that will happen Money. ”Criticism also drew Stadler's statement, in which he classified homosexual partnerships as perverse (quote:“ homosexual and other perverse partnerships ”). In doing so he started a new debate about the constitutionally guaranteed irremovability of ombudsmen. In September 2006, Stadler gave a lecture to the initiative group of Catholic lay people and priests in Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland , according to a report by kreuz.net , of the view that “the EU is the most important instrument of Masonic politics”. At present the “masons [...] are busy building a civil religion with the Holocaust as the center”. According to Stadler, “the masonic world conspiracy is behind revolutions and overturns, all states” would “try to bring them under their 'control'.” In Austrian domestic politics too, “of course […] the 'masons' would also be vigorous domestic politics with [mix]: Of the top candidates, 'only the chairman of the Greens, Alexander Van der Bellen of Russian descent , is a lodge member', but Federal Chancellor Schüssel 'has a close relationship with the lodge'. "

On October 30, 2006, Stadler entered the National Council for the FPÖ. At the same time he resigned as an ombudsman. Hilmar Kabas was appointed as his successor for the remainder of the term of office (until June 30, 2007) . Between October 30, 2006 and March 6, 2007, Stadler was deputy chairman of the Freedom Parliamentary Club in the National Council. In addition, Stadler headed the "Freedom Academy" from summer 2004 and was thus largely responsible for training the FPÖ officials. However, the party academy lost its importance considerably in December 2006 due to a fundamental reorganization, when the FPÖ leadership around Heinz-Christian Strache announced the establishment of a new " educational institute ". From 2007, at the request of the FPÖ leadership, this educational institute was to receive public funding for party educational institutions instead of the academy. In connection with this, a court later found that Stadler and an employee met Johann Gudenus on December 22, 2006 and threatened him to publish "military sport" pictures of Heinz-Christian Strache in military uniform if he did not immediately Obtain funding for the Freedom Academy, which Stadler headed. Said photos landed in the media in January 2007 - as did photos that show Stadler during ritual acts of the Catholic-Conservative Mercedarian Order.

After differences with the FPÖ leadership, Stadler resigned from the FPÖ on March 7, 2007, but was a member of the liberal parliamentary club until August 20, 2008. On August 16, 2008, Stadler announced that it would run for the BZÖ in the 2008 National Council election. But he wanted to remain a free mandate. From October 28, 2008 to December 6, 2011, Stadler was again a representative of the BZÖ in the National Council, and he was also the deputy chairman of the BZÖ's parliamentary club.

On April 3, 2009, Stadler was elected the new party chairman of BZÖ Lower Austria with 97.7 percent. He succeeded Christine Döttelmayer, who resigned from her position at the end of February 2009.

Stadler ran in the election to the EU Parliament on June 7, 2009 as the top candidate for the BZÖ. During the election campaign, the Austrian Ombudsman took legal action against his use of the term “Ombudsman” for party advertising purposes (“Our Ombudsman in Brussels”, “Post from the Ombudsman”) and caused him to terminate this advertising campaign by means of an injunction. By increasing the number of MPs in accordance with the Lisbon Treaty , he became a member of the European Parliament on December 11, 2011 in the replacement procedure .

In the course of a dispute over the direction of the party, Stadler was excluded from the BZÖ with effect from October 3, 2013 due to “behavior that was harmful to the party”. Thereupon he founded the right-wing conservative party The Reform Conservatives (REKOS) with the support of Rudolf Gehring ( Christian Party Austria - CPÖ ). Stadler's entry into the European Parliament failed in the 2014 European elections .

At the referendum on the status of Crimea in the course of the Crimean crisis in 2014, Stadler was present as an “unofficial election observer” and praised the conduct of the election.

On June 18, 2014, Stadler was sentenced to a conditional sentence of 14 months for coercion and false testimony due to the events of December 2006. On October 23, 2015, the judgment was legally confirmed by the Higher Regional Court of Vienna . Stadler was sentenced to 12 months of conditional imprisonment in view of the long duration of the proceedings.

Stadler was the beginning of November 2014 the Ukraine to persona non grata declared after being in Donetsk had occurred as a representative of an unknown Association for Security and Cooperation in Europe to the elections in the Donetsk People's Republic rubberstamp.

In terms of domestic politics, Stadler was busy building up the Christian conservative party REKOS. He intended that she should run in the 2017 National Council election, but it was unsuccessful. In February 2015, Stadler became legal advisor to the Vienna branch of the Pegida movement.
