politics

Mitterer represented the FPÖ in 1989 and from 1992 and 2005 in the Carinthian state parliament. Between 1992 and 1994 he was second president, between 2000 and 2004 third president of the state parliament. In between he was a member of the National Council from November 5, 1990 to May 27, 1992, and from June 29, 2005 he represented the FPÖ in the Federal Council.
