Elisabeth Schwetz as the new public prosecutor: A look at her career
The FPÖ has made an interesting decision: Elisabeth Schwetz, currently district chairwoman of Wels-Land, has been nominated as a candidate for the Ombudsman. This announcement was made in a press release on Thursday. Schwetz is following in the footsteps of Walter Rosenkranz, who was recently elected President of the National Council. Your proposal must now be discussed at the next meeting of the National Council for final confirmation.
The 42-year-old lawyer stands out particularly for her extensive experience in administrative law. The FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl appreciates Schwetz's commitment and emphasizes her strong sense of justice. He commented positively on her willingness to carry out her duties responsibly and with full commitment.
Professional career of Elisabeth Schwetz
Schwetz was born in Linz in 1982 and completed her studies in law and Romance studies in Vienna. In 2006 she began her career as a parliamentary assistant for FPÖ National Council member Lutz Weinzinger. She was also a speaker in the Freedom Parliament Club before working in other important positions such as office manager for the Third National Council President Norbert Hofer or for Infrastructure State Councilor Günther Steinkellner.
After heading the facilities department in the Perg district administration, Schwetz was appointed district governor of the Wels-Land district in 2018, where she is also the chairwoman of the social welfare association. In her new role in the Ombudsman's Office, if she is confirmed, she sees the opportunity to use her experience as district governor to help Austrians who feel they are being treated unfairly by the authorities.
In her own words, Schwetz expresses her gratitude for the trust placed in her by the Freedom Parliamentary Club. Your involvement in the Ombudsman's Office will play an essential role in paying attention to citizens' concerns and representing their interests in the best possible way. The next meeting of the National Council will be crucial to officially introduce Schwetz to her new office.
