Life

biography

Martin Wabl has four brothers, including the politician Andreas Wabl and the microbiologist Matthias Wabl . After attending elementary school and high school in Graz , Wabl studied law at the University of Graz and obtained his doctorate in 1967 . Since 1972 he has worked as a judge at the Fürstenfeld District Court.

Wabl began his political career as a member of the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) when he was elected to the city council of Fürstenfeld in 1980 . He then held his mandate until 2005. Also in 1980, Wabl was elected Vice Mayor of Fürstenfeld, an office that he held until 1985. Subsequently, from 1985 to 1991, he was a city ​​councilor .

Wabl was not only politically active at the municipal level, but also in the state and federal government. From 1981 to 1986 and from 1991 to 1994 he was elected as a member of the SPÖ in the Styrian state parliament. Between 1979 and 1994 he also sat with interruptions in the Federal Council in Vienna . In the mid-1990s, Wabl left the SPÖ. Wabl completed his career as a non-attached Federal Councilor from October to December 1994 and as a member of the Styrian state parliament from 1996 to 1999 - who owed his mandate to the Greens . In the 2013 National Council election , Wabl ran on the list of the Christian Party of Austria (CPÖ).

Martin Wabl is married and has three children.

Candidate for the office of Federal President

Wabl tried four times - in 1998 , 2004 , 2010 and 2016 - to be run as a non-party candidate for the office of Federal President . But of the required 6,000 declarations of support that would have made a candidacy possible in the first place, he received only 3,600 signatures in 1998 and only 2,500 in 2004 - so it was not possible to run for the election. In 2010 and 2016, too, it failed due to the hurdle of 6,000 declarations of support.

Activity as a book author

Martin Wabl is best known as an investigative lawyer in Austria. He is particularly concerned with the Natascha Kampusch case . In 2007 he published his view of things under the title Natascha Kampusch and my path to truth . He argues that Kampusch was abducted by at least two kidnappers. According to Wabl, Kampusch's mother, Brigitta Sirny, was also partly to blame for the disappearance of her daughter. This sued Wabl for an omission, and in November 2008 won the case before the district court in Gleisdorf .

Humanitarian engagement

In the pension he stood by people in legal questions free of charge. Because of this, he was sentenced to a fine, which he appealed. The Independent Administrative Senate agreed with him in this regard.
