Jörg Haider  

Definition

  • Jörg Haider is the current governor of the Austrian state of Carinthia, the former head of the so-called Austrian Freedom Party (Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs/FPÖ), and founding member of the BZÖ (Bündnis Zukunft Österreich/Alliance for the Future of Austria). After taking over the Freedom Party chair in September 1986, Haider began a swift ascendancy in the FPÖ that found its climax in the 1999 elections (the party gained 27% of the votes and the second place behind the Social Democrats).
