Horst Rosenkranz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Horst Jakob Rosenkranz (born April 16, 1943 in Lower Austria ) is a right-wing extremist Austrian publicist and former politician. He is married to the former FPÖ politician Barbara Rosenkranz .

Political activity

Rosenkranz was a functionary of the National Democratic Party (NDP), which was dissolved by the Constitutional Court (VfGH) for violating the Prohibition Act, and of the Ein Herz für Inländer party . In the National Council election campaign in 1990 he appeared as the top candidate on the “No to the flood of foreigners” list that he founded with Gerd Honsik . The list was also not approved for election to the National Council by the responsible district electoral authority in Vienna because it was re-active under the National Socialist regime. The non-approval was later confirmed by the VfGH. At the beginning of the 1990 Rosary took over the chairman of the shaft as a revisionist current association for the promotion of the whole truth . At the same time he was chairman of the Critical Democrats party and supporter of the non-partisan referendum by Austrians for Austria . He is also the editor of the journal Facts , which is classified as right-wing extremist by the Documentation Archive of Austrian Resistance (DÖW). He also repeatedly gave lectures for the right-wing extremist working group for democratic politics (AFP). Rosenkranz, who describes himself as a “right-wing thinker” , has meanwhile largely withdrawn into private life and rarely shows up at official events. However, he repeatedly appears as a speaker at FPÖ events.

family

Horst Jakob Rosenkranz is the husband of the Lower Austrian regional councilor and candidate for the 2010 federal presidential election, Barbara Rosenkranz ( FPÖ ), with whom he has ten children (six daughters and four sons). In an interview in March 2010, Barbara Rosenkranz defended her husband by saying that it was important to her that her husband was an innocent citizen and should not be presented “in a wrong light”. Nevertheless, in April 2010, in the run-up to the federal presidential election , she said that she “of course doesn't” share the political views of her husband and that one can “have a marriage without agreeing on all things”.
