politics

Munzenrieder was a member of the FPÖ, but resigned from it on August 29, 1990. He was sworn in on October 30, 1987 as a representative of the FPÖ in the Burgenland state parliament and remained as a free member of the state parliament until July 18, 1991.

Munzenrieder gained national fame when, in October 1987, he was accused of breaking a pact between the ÖVP and the FPÖ through his voting behavior in the Burgenland Landtag and thus preventing the election of the Burgenland ÖVP top candidate Franz Sauerzopf as governor. Munzenrieder himself denied this. The FPÖ then excluded Gregor Munzenrieder from the party. As a non-party, he retained his mandate until the end of the legislative period.
