29.08.2006: The FPÖ and Associated Groups (2004)
Heinz-Christian Strache, a former protégé of Haider, became FPÖ chairman of Vienna in 2004. His nationalist agitation against E.U. enlargement and ?Brussels bureaucrats? threatened the FPÖ?s partnership in the coalition.
Andreas Mölzer exacerbated the FPÖ?s problems by attacking it in his extreme right-wing weekly Zur Zeit and by gaining a seat in the June 2004 elections to the European Parliament, outstripping the candidates of the FPÖ, which obtained only 6.3 percent of the vote (1999: 23.4 percent). He immediately declared that he would work from the Euro-Parliament to unify European extreme right parties.
