history
In the state elections in Carinthia in 2013 , the party achieved 11.18% of the votes cast and entered the Carinthian state parliament with four seats . The Stronach Carinthia team, together with the Stronach Niederösterreich team , which also received 9.84% of the votes cast in the 2013 state election in Lower Austria on March 20, 2013 , was not just one of the first two regional organizations of the Stronach team to participate in elections but also one of the two first regional organizations of the party to be elected to an Austrian state parliament.
After Frank Stronach had deposed Gerhard Köfer as Carinthian state party chairman as well as the entire state party executive on October 2, 2013 and appointed the state parliament member Siegfried Schalli as the new state party chairman, tensions arose within the party. The conflict about Frank Stronach's influence on the national organization, which was fought between Köfer, Schalli and their respective supporters, was finally resolved after several crisis meetings. On October 14, 2013 Andrea Krainer was elected interim state party leader.
At the end of October 2013, Schalli surprisingly left the party and switched to the FPÖ . The Stronach Carinthia team thus lost its club status in the state parliament and was only an interest group. Martin Rutter was expelled from the party by party chairman Gerhard Köfer at the end of September 2017. When Isabella Theuermann moved to the FPÖ in December 2017, only Hartmut Prasch remained in the state parliament and the list lost its status as an interest group.
In December 2013, Gerhard Klocker was elected as the new interim state party chairman. In April 2014, Klocker finally became state party chairman.
Since October 2016, after the repayment of a loan to Frank Stronach, the party appeared under the name “Free Team Carinthia - List Gerhard Köfer”. For legal reasons, the party continued to use the name Stronach until the end of the legislative period. In November there was an amendment to the statutes, which dissolved the party from the Stronach team. State party chairman of the now independent party was Gerhard Köfer.
For the state elections in 2018, the party entered as Team Carinthia and was able to move into the state parliament again with three members.
