Roland Atz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roland Atz (born July 11, 1946 in Bozen ) is an Italian politician from South Tyrol .

Life

Professionally, the trained electrician worked as a self-employed businessman.

Atz was elected in 1989 as a representative of the South Tyrolean People's Party (SVP) in the Bolzano municipal council and immediately afterwards as an assessor for transport, trade and tourism in the city council. As such, he was responsible for the introduction of the Bolzano Christmas market .

In 1993, the discovery of a statement by Atz triggered a scandal. In a dispute about Roma settling on the outskirts of Bolzano , he is said to have said that "the gypsies should all be slain and gassed". Atz, who did not deny this in writing, received party support, whereupon SVP chairman Siegfried Brugger resigned for a short time .

In the state elections in 1993 , which took place a few weeks later , Atz was able to win a mandate for the South Tyrolean state parliament and, at the same time, the regional council of Trentino-South Tyrol , where he acted as parliamentary spokesman for the SVP. His candidacy in the state elections in 1998 was also successful . In the following legislative period, from 1999 to 2002, he was Vice President and Assessor for Assets, Chamber of Commerce Regulations, Supplementary Pensions and Non-EU Citizens in the regional government . In 2003 he no longer ran for election.

Atz ran unsuccessfully for the Northern League in the 2008 state elections .
