Karl Öllinger (born July 21, 1951 in Ried im Innkreis ) is an Austrian politician ( The Greens ). From November 1994 to October 2013 and from April 2016 to November 2017 he was a member of the National Council .

Career

Öllinger attended a primary school from 1957 to 1961, a secondary school from 1961 to 1962 and a humanistic grammar school in Ried im Innkreis from 1962 to 1970 . Between 1971 and 1979 he did his military service and studied political science and German at the University of Salzburg . From 1979 to 1983 he worked as a supervisor in a socio-educational housing project in St. Johann im Pongau and in Salzburg. Between 1984 and 1994 he was an editor at Alternative magazine and other journalistic projects.

Political functions

From 1973 to 1978, Öllinger was a mandate of the Central Committee of the Austrian Students' Union and, until 1977, Federal Spokesman for the Association of Socialist Students of Austria (VSStÖ) and, until 1994, District Councilor of the Greens in Vienna- Leopoldstadt . In 1994 he was a councilor for GE-Alternative trade unionists in Vienna. From 1994 to 2013 he was a member of the National Council . After initially being unable to obtain a seat in the electoral district of Vienna in the 2013 National Council election , he finally moved back to the National Council on April 28, 2016 after his party colleague Daniela Musiol had resigned from her seat the day before. Since the election of the Chamber of Labor in 2019, Öllinger has been working for the AUGE / UG (alternative and green trade unionists) again as a Chamber of Labor Council in Vienna.

Disputes with the FPÖ

Öllinger was repeatedly attacked and reported by the FPÖ . At the end of December 2008 he published order lists circulating on the Internet for Aufruhr-Versand (see V7-Versand ), which sells articles from the neo-Nazi scene, on which the close employees of the FPÖ mandate Martin Graf , who was elected third national council president in 2008 , Sebastian Ploner and Marcus Vetter, who had ordered articles there. In return, the FPÖ accused him of having Lukas Wurz himself a parliamentary employee who, according to the FPÖ, was a founding member of the TATblatt , which was discontinued at the end of June 2005 .

In addition, Öllinger had found texts on the right-wing extremist website alpen-donau.info which he suspected originated with representatives of the FPÖ. To substantiate his suspicions, he contacted the police officer and data forensic scientist Uwe Sailer , who had been recommended to him by Gunther Trübswasser (Green Upper Austria). In the course of the so-called spy investigation committee , the FPÖ accused him of inciting a police officer to abuse his office . Öllinger said that he got to know Sailer as a data forensic scientist and expert on the right-wing extremist scene and neither knew that he was a police officer, nor had he ever incited him to abuse his office. Sailer himself testified in the investigative committee that after contacting Öllinger he had pointed out that he was a police officer. Öllinger was then accused by the FPÖ and ÖVP of telling the untruth before the committee of inquiry. The FPÖ filed a complaint for false testimony, whereupon his parliamentary immunity was lifted at the beginning of December 2009 with the votes of all parliamentary parties, including the Greens, in order to enable an investigation. The proceedings were finally closed in February 2011 by the Business and Corruption Prosecutor's Office because there was no criminal misconduct. The proceedings against Sailer, also after the FPÖ reported it, was also discontinued, as were a number of others that the FPÖ mandate Werner Neubauer had brought against him until 2011. It is unclear how the private e-mail traffic between Öllinger and Sailer reached the operators of the Unzensuriert.at website in 2009 , where it was published in the course of the dispute about Graf's employees - his office manager Walter Asperl is also the operator of the site has been.

On January 25, 2019, Öllinger distributed two photos on his Facebook page that showed a member of the Gothia fraternity with an outstretched right arm. For this, he was found guilty at the Vienna Regional Court in September 2019 for defamation under Section 6 of the Media Act and sentenced to compensation of 1,500 euros. By disseminating the two images, Öllinger "at least aroused the suspicion of re-activation", stated the judge, noting that the re-activation suspicion was basically "constructed", which is evident when looking through the entire photo series.

Others

In 1999 he and his party colleague Werner Kogler published the book "The Climate Connection. Friendship. Euroteam: Friendship and nepotism in the SPÖ. The Chancellor's apprenticeship scandal. Millions of jobs for party stars - Corruption in the EU" .

At the beginning of 2014 Karl Öllinger was diagnosed with cancer, which he announced on February 5, 2014 on his Facebook page.
