Norbert Steger (born 6 March 1944) is an Austrian lawyer and former politician for the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ).[1] He was the FPÖ party leader from 1980 to 1986, and Vice Chancellor and Federal Minister for Trade, Commerce and Industry from 1983 to 1987.[1]
Under his leadership of the FPÖ, the party adopted a more liberal program and a less confrontational discourse.[2] He sought to turn the party to become something of an Austrian version of the German Free Democratic Party, focusing on free market and anti-statist policies.[2] His daughter is the National Council member Petra Steger.
