Life

Peter Kreisky was the son of the social democratic politician and later Austrian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky and his wife Vera. Peter was born in Sweden as a result of National Socialism, but came to Austria with his parents in 1950. In 1959 he joined the Association of Socialist Middle School Students (VSM) in Vienna . At a meeting of the IUSY in 1962, Kreisky was the only Austrian representative to vote against the party line against the exclusion of the SDS requested by the SPD youth organizations , which earned him a reprimand from the then SJÖ supervisor Heinz Nittel .

Kreisky got involved with the socialist students of the VSStÖ , where he belonged to the left wing. In 1965 he was elected chairman of the VSStÖ Vienna.

In the 1970s and 1980s Kreisky was also active in numerous grassroots and citizens' initiatives and organized demonstrations against the Vietnam War , against the Zwentendorf nuclear power plant and against Kurt Waldheim , "[...] which the [Bruno] Kreisky government [n]" gave little pleasure to. . The lawyer with a doctorate from the University of Vienna worked since 1973 in the economics department of the Vienna Chamber of Labor under Eduard März , Ferdinand Lacina and Günther Chaloupek and in this position was mainly concerned with regional political issues. However, he continued to take a critical and personal stance on current issues and repeatedly got into a certain tension with his father.

At the beginning of the 1980s, after the success of the citizens' initiative against the building up of the Steinhof grounds , Kreisky was to be excluded from the SPÖ along with a number of other critics of Viennese local politics; however, due to opposition from leading officials such as Erwin Lanc and Edgar Schranz , “this little cleanup” was called off in the end.

Since 1971 with the political scientist Eva Kreisky born. Zgraja married social scientist liked to fall back on the familiar example of the Swedish welfare state . Kreisky was one of the best-known actors in the narrow Austrian movement of 1968. His political hope has always been that ultimately Social Democrats, Greens and Christian Socials can find each other in a broad movement for social reforms. In 1978 their son Jan was born to Peter and Eva Kreisky.

Kreisky was a member of the independent, international jury for the award of the Bruno Kreisky Prize for Human Rights in the 2005–2010 term, advisory board in the Bruno Kreisky Forum for international dialogue, as well as one of the founders, board member and mentor of the Republican Club - New Austria and Vice President of the Austria-Vietnam Society .

He lived in the market town of Maria-Anzbach for a few years until his death .

Peter Kreisky died of a heart attack on December 27, 2010 while hiking in the Tramuntana mountains on Mallorca. He left his son Jan next to his wife Eva. His urn was buried on January 18, 2011 in the grave of his parents Bruno and Vera Kreisky at the Vienna Central Cemetery.
