Heinz-Christian Strache is an Austrian politician and former leader of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), serving as Vice Chancellor and Minister for Civil Service and Sport from December 2017 until May 2019. He was a prominent figure in Austrian politics known for his far-right views and populist rhetoric.
