Julian Schmid (born April 21, 1989 in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee ) is an Austrian politician from the Greens . From 2013 to 2017 he was a member of the National Council . After the National Council election in 2017 and the departure of the Greens from the National Council, he lost his parliamentary seat.

Life

Schmid attended the Bundesrealgymnasium Klagenfurt-Viktring from 1999 to 2007 and was the Carinthian state school spokesman for the independent student list “Colorless” in the 2006/2007 school year . In 2008 he did his community service in the youth center “Arche” in Feldkirchen in Carinthia . From October 2008 he studied political science at the University of Vienna , where he completed his bachelor's degree in 2012. Until 2013 he also studied economics .

In 2009 he was a short-term substitute member of the Klagenfurt municipal council and from 2010 to December 2012 he was a member of the state executive committee of the Greens in Vienna . He was also a district councilor in Vienna-Wieden from 2010 to 2013 .

Schmid was a member of the Austrian National Council from October 29, 2013. At the time of his inauguration, he was the youngest male member of the National Council in history at the age of 24. During the 2013 election campaign, an advertising subject that covered him with red kissable lips and the slogan “I'm public transport for everything” was classified as sexist by the advertising watch group. The advertising poster for the Greens promotes the "sexualization of men". At the inauguration, he stood out for his hooded appearance . Critics repeatedly accused him that his appearance was aimed too much at striking effects and that he did little actual political work in the National Council. Schmid replied that he saw himself as a representative of young people in parliament. They would communicate differently and could best be reached with the communication style they are familiar with.

At the Federal Congress of the Greens in Linz on June 25, 2017, he won fourth place on the list for the candidacy of the Greens in the 2017 National Council election in a vote against Peter Pilz. This lost battle vote was one of the reasons that Pilz left the Greens and with the list Peter Pilz led an independent National Council election campaign. After the National Council election in 2017, this list entered parliament with eight seats, while the Greens narrowly failed to pass the four percent hurdle and left the National Council.

When asked whether he was to blame for the Greens leaving the National Council, Schmid pointed out that Pilz had been thinking of founding his own party for a long time. In addition, the conflict at the time between the federal party and its youth organization Junge Grüne , the resignation of Eva Glawischnig and the successful staging of the SPÖ as a counterpoint to “ black-blue ” led to a loss of votes. At the beginning of 2018, Schmid quietly withdrew from politics.
