Norbert Hofer could leave state politics

Norbert Hofer is considering his withdrawal from Burgenland state politics. The former FPÖ federal party chairman, presidential candidate, and current club chairman in the state parliament wants to think about his future until the end of the year, he stated on Thursday to the APA. There are ongoing offers from the private sector - should he switch, he will in any case "always be politically active" and support the Freedom Party.

Hofer: "Can't watch this any longer"

He has looked at the currently debated state budget and found: "If Red-Green continues like this, the state is ruined. I can't watch this any longer," because he is someone who wants to make a change. As a club chairman, he is legally prohibited from working in the economy: "Now I have to decide. I am a person who always needs challenges."

The FPÖ has achieved first place in Burgenland in the National Council election and second place in the state election. Now he could prove himself in the economy. "I haven't decided yet, but I am seriously considering it," Hofer announced the decision by the end of the year.
