FPÖ politician Axel Kassegger is withdrawing from politics effective immediately. He justified his step by citing health reasons. The withdrawal also affects his position as president of the Free Educational Institute, which opens up the leadership of this institution. Der Standard ↗ ORF ↗
Kassegger also served as FPÖ chairman in Graz. His departure comes shortly after information emerged about an investigation under the law prohibiting Nazi activities. Available reports indicate that the politician has faced several controversies in the past. Details about further proceedings within the party or filling the vacant positions are not apparent from the available information.
The case occurs at a time when the FPÖ is repeatedly a topic of Austrian political debate. Kassegger's departure represents a personnel change in the party's regional structure as well as in the leadership of its educational institute. Further developments will depend on who the party appoints as his successor and how the investigation, which was reported in recent days, unfolds.
