Founding
It was founded on February 4, 1993, when liberals within the FPÖ, including five members of the National Council (Nationalrat, lower house of the parliament), seceded from the party. The five Nationalrat members were Heide Schmidt, Klara Motter, Friedhelm Frischenschlager, Hans Helmut Moser, and Thomas Barmüller. Heide Schmidt (who was 3rd president of the Nationalrat until 1994) became the party's first chairperson. February 4 is the 35th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. ...

The Austrian Freedom Party (Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs, abbreviated to FPÖ) is an Austrian political party usually associated with the name of Jörg Haider. ...
The National Council or Nationalrat is one of the two houses of the Federal Assembly, the bicameral federal parliament of the Federal Republic of Austria. ...
Heide Schmidt in 2005 Heide Schmidt (born November 27, 1948 in Kempten im Allgäu, Germany) is an Austrian politician. ...
The reason for the split within the FPÖ was growing disagreements between the liberal wing and the nationalistic camp. Jörg Haider launched a petition-drive against foreign immigrants in Austria (the so-called "Österreich Zuerst Volksbegehren" ("Austria First Referendum")). This in turn was unacceptable to Heide Schmidt and her followers. The founders of the new party wanted a true, liberal party in the classic sense, which the FPÖ had ceased to be since the resignation of Norbert Steger and the rise of Haider. Jörg Haider in Carinthia (promotional photo) Jörg Haider (born January 26, 1950) is an Austrian politician. ...
The Liberales Forum was the first party in the history of the Second Republic to achieve immediate seats in parliament without prior elections. After some initial confusion, the chairs of the house accepted the new formation as an official party, thereby granting access to public financial means of support. The FPÖ left the Liberal International organisation and the Liberal Forum took over that membership in its place instead. The party managed to gain 11 seats in the 1994 parliamentary elections, and with 5,51% of all votes cast 10 seats in the 1995 elections. The Liberal International is an international organization for liberal parties. ...
1994 (MCMXCIV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International year of the Family. ...
1995 (MCMXCV) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
However, following the resignation of Schmidt as chairperson and the elections in 1999, the party's support has plummeted and it failed to gain any seats. In the elections of October 3 1999 the party obtained 3,65% of all votes and therefore failed to overcome the 4% mandatory threshold in order to enter parliament. In the elections of 2002 it obtained 1% of the vote and got no seats. As a consequence it also lost votes in state elections and is only represented on the communal level. In Vienna it has some seats on the Bezirk (districts) level. 1999 (MCMXCIX) is a common year starting on Friday, and was designated the International Year of Older Persons by the United Nations. ...
