from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Willhelm "Willi" Schbaumer (born June 22, 1937 in Mühlbach , South Tyrol / Italy ) is a former trade unionist and regional politician of the Social Democratic Party of South Tyrol (SPS).

Political career

Verschbaumer was active as a trade unionist in the Autonomous South Tyrolean Trade Union Federation (ASGB) in the early 1970s . In 1972 he was a founding member of the around the former SVP - Chamber of Deputies Hans Dietl founded the Social Democratic Party of South Tyrol (PLC). Together with Dietl, Verschbaumer was elected second on the SPS list in 1973 to the regional council of Trentino-South Tyrol and thus also to the South Tyrolean parliament .

When Dietl retired from active politics due to illness, Verschbaumer took over the chairmanship of the SPS in 1975. After a largely unsuccessful merger with the Social Progressive Party of South Tyrol (SFP), the founding of a separate employee wing within the South Tyrolean People's Party (SVP) and the successful competition of left-wing parties with an Italian and inter-ethnic character ( Communist Party of Italy (KPI), Neue Linke / Nuova Sinistra ( NL / NS)), however, the SPS lost popularity from the mid-1970s.

In 1978, as the last remaining SPS representative, he was able to defend his regional and state parliament mandate for a second legislative period. As a result of escalating internal party disputes, however, he was voted out of office as party leader in 1981 and expelled from the party. As an “independent social democrat”, he then briefly constituted his own parliamentary group. In the regional and state elections in 1983, Verschbaumer finally ran against the SPS on the SVP's list. Neither he nor the SPS candidates were able to win a mandate in this election. Schbaumer then withdrew from the political public.
