The Freedom Party of Austria and the Rise of Euroscepticism

The Freedom Party of Austria and the Rise of Euroscepticism: The so-called sanctions were swiftly dropped in September 2000, but instead of lambasting the EU, former leader Jörg Haider announced that the Party would attempt to reform it. He stated that “the structure of the EU has to be changed so that self-appointed bullies cannot trample over the smaller states” (cited in Leidig, 2000).?
