The Tyrolean People's Party is the regional organization (also regional party) of the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) in the state of Tyrol . It has been the governor of Tyrol without interruption since 1945 . The current Tyrolean governor Günther Platter has been the chairman of the regional group since January 31, 2009 , and the regional party manager is Martin Malaun.

Since the state elections in 2013 , the Tyrolean People's Party has governed together with the Tyrolean Greens in the first black-green coalition in the Tyrolean state government Platter II and Platter III .

organization

The Tyrolean People's Party, like the federal ÖVP, is divided into six sub-organizations, the so-called "Bünde": AAB Tyrol - workers in the People's Party, Tyrolean Farmers 'Association, Tyrolean Economic Association, Young People's Party of Tyrol, women in the Tyrolean People's Party and Tyrolean Seniors' Association. In addition to the group structure, the Tyrolean People's Party is also divided territorially: local groups in the municipalities and district party executive or district party leadership.

The party has had its headquarters at Fallmerayerstraße 4 in Innsbruck since 2006, across from Innsbruck City Hall on Maria-Theresien-Straße. Before that, the Tyrolean People's Party resided at Südtiroler Platz, directly opposite Innsbruck's main train station. The regional office, the district offices of Innsbruck-Stadt and Innsbruck-Land as well as the Young People's Party of Tyrol are housed in the house of the Tyrolean People's Party.

The house of the Tyrolean People's Party is located at Fallmerayerstraße 4.

History 1918 to 1933

The Tyrolean People's Party, an amalgamation of the previously rival Catholic Conservatives and Christian Socials , came into being on October 27, 1918. It emerged victorious in the first Tyrolean state elections in 1919 and remained the leading political force in the state of Tyrol until the end of the First Republic. Within the party, the Tyrolean Farmers' Union, founded in 1904, formed the largest and most influential group, and with Josef Schraffl and Franz Stumpf it also provided the provincial governor twice. Another important group was the Volksverein , which found its base in the urban and petty-bourgeois area. Its members included the long-time member of the National Council Aemilian Schöpfer and the later Federal Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg . From 1926 on, the Tiroler Arbeitsbund group under Hans Gamper was added. At the national level, the Tyrolean People's Party represented the Tyrolean regional organization of the Christian Social Party.

In the separated South Tyrol , the Tyrolean People's Party and the German Freedom Party ran under the name Deutscher Verband in the first elections to the Italian parliament on May 15, 1921 and were able to unite around 90 percent of the votes. When the fascists came to power on October 28, 1922, the party lost its importance. On May 8, 1945, the South Tyrolean People's Party (SVP) was founded.

In the state of Tyrol, the Tyrolean People's Party, which can be classified as a bourgeois-conservative, was re-established as a state organization of the ÖVP in 1945 and has consistently provided the state governors in Tyrol ever since. From 1945 to 2008, with the exception of the years 1999 to 2003, the Tyrolean VP was able to hold the absolute majority of the mandate.

In the state elections in Tyrol in 2008 , however, she only achieved 40.45% and 16 of 36 seats.

In the state elections in Tyrol in 2013 , the VP lost again and came to 39.35%.

In the state elections in Tyrol in 2018 , the VP won an additional mandate and thus came to 17 of 36 mandates.
