Philippa Strache
Pia Philippa Strache[1] (born 1 December 1987 as Pia Philippa Beck in Vienna)[2] is an Austrian presenter and politician (FPÖ).
Life
Strache was Josef Cap's assistant for five years in the Parliamentary Club of the SPÖ.[3] Between 2012 and 2013 she worked as press spokeswoman for Team Stronach. In 2016, she was presenter for the newly founded news channel oe24.tv.[4] Additionally, she moderates on the Youtube channel of the FPÖ FPÖ TV.[5]
From summer 2018 Strache was honorary animal welfare officer of the FPÖ. She was also responsible for Heinz-Christian Strache's appearance in the social media.[6] Strache is said to have received a salary of 9,500 euros for these activities.[7]
Strache was a candidate for the 2019 National Council elections. Its final entry into parliament was unclear for the time being due to discussions about expense reports and the arithmetic of the elections.[8] The discussion generated a broad media response.[9][10][11]
On 7 October, the FPÖ announced that Harald Stefan would waive his basic mandate and thus enter the National Council via the national list, which would not have given Strache a mandate.[12] On 9 October 2019, however, the provincial election authority announced that Harald Stefan could not waive his basic mandate and that Strache would therefore definitely be entitled to a mandate via the national list.[13] As a result, the federal party chairman Norbert Hofer and the designated club chairman Herbert Kickl immediately declared that the FPÖ would not include Philippa Strache in their parliamentary club. Their lawyer gave a statement on 22 March that Strache would not be allowed to resign. In the constituent session of the XXVII Legislative Period on 23 October 2019 she became a member of parliament, and on the same day she was expelled from the FPÖ.[14]
Personal life
Their relationship with Heinz-Christian Strache began in autumn 2015; they had their first public appearance together in January 2016 at the Jägerball. The wedding followed on 7 October 2016. On 1 January 2019 she gave birth to her son.[15][16]
