from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gabriel Wagner (born June 29, 1940 in Steinberg ) is a former Austrian politician ( ÖVP , then FPÖ ). Wagner was a member of the Burgenland Landtag from 1977 to 1997 .

Wagner was born the son of the businessman Gabriel Wagner and completed compulsory school in Steinberg. He then switched to the technical college and higher federal college for textile chemistry in Vienna , where he passed the Matura in 1961. Wagner then worked in industry and commerce and on October 1, 1967, he joined the Chamber of Commerce for Burgenland as an employee. In addition, from 1968 Wagner became active as the ÖVP district secretary of the Oberpullendorf district office , after he had been district chairman of the Young People's Party in 1964 . In addition, in 1966 he became a district officer for the Wirtschaftsbund, and between 1974 and 1990 he was district party chairman of the ÖVP. Wagner was sworn in as a member of the state parliament on October 27, 1977, where he converted to the FPÖ on November 27, 1990 and took over the office of club chairman in July 1991. After Wolfgang Rauter left the Burgenland state government, Wagner moved from the state parliament to the Stix II state government on November 5, 1997 , to which he was a member until December 28, 2000. Due to the electoral defeat in the state elections in Burgenland in 2000 , the FPÖ lost its right to a state council. Wagner resigned from the FPÖ in 2007, although he had previously been active as chairman of the Burgenland Ring of Freedom of Business . A special party congress of the FPÖ Burgenland is assumed to be the reason for his resignation, at which the controversial FPÖ party leader Johann Tschürtz was confirmed in office in March 2007 . Over 30 local groups then left the FPÖ.
