The Austrian National Council election also has consequences for the Austrian Members of the European Parliament: the Paneuropeans gain a new member with the swearing-in of Lower Austrian Lukas Mandl<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In addition to the announced withdrawal of Ulrike Lunacek, who was most recently Vice-President of the directly elected representative body, \u00d6VP Secretary General Elisabeth K\u00f6stinger is now moving into federal politics. The mandate thus vacated will, fortunately, be filled by a long-standing member of the Paneuropa Movement Austria<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Lukas Mandl at a panel discussion<\/a> with Paneuropa Youth leader Philipp Jauernik in early October.
\u00a9 Stefan Denner<\/p><\/div>\n

Lower Austrian Lukas Mandl<\/a> was already on the \u00d6VP list for the 2014 European elections. The communications scientist and business economist was federal chairman of the Austrian Sch\u00fclerunion from 1998 to 1999 and has been a member of the Lower Austrian State Parliament since 2008, where he chairs the European Committee. <\/p>\n

From 2010 to 2012, he served as Secretary General of the \u00d6AAB. Since 2010, he has been a city councillor, and since 2015, Deputy Mayor of the municipality of Gerasdorf bei Wien<\/a>. In 2016, he founded the Austrian-Kosovar Friendship Society to dedicate himself more to this region of Europe. <\/div>\n

Mandl was elected directly to the Lower Austrian State Parliament twice (2008 and 2013) with preferential votes. In the 2014 European elections, he received 4,758 preferential votes nationwide. <\/p>\n

With Lukas Mandl and the already incumbent Upper Austrian Paul R\u00fcbig<\/a>, two Paneuropeans are now representing Austria in the European Parliament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
