Franz Wölfler:
“I would like to see more older people in politics”
Perfectly dressed and very gentlemanly - at first glance, Franz Wölfler looks like actor Richard Gere. The fact that he is socially and politically committed is just as easy to guess as his age. But at just under 75, he is the oldest candidate for the National Council in Vorarlberg.
Franz Wölfler worked as an export merchant for 46 years, traveled to many countries and got to know the people and their cultures. Simply doing nothing in retirement was not an option for the busy man from Dornbirn. So what to do with all that free time? "I wanted to get involved in the social sector - and since 2009 I've been a field worker for the pension insurance institution, so to speak," he jokes with a laugh. For eleven years, he worked for the "Tischlein deck Dich" association, handing out food to those in need. He went on excursions with elderly wheelchair users and brought "meals on wheels" to other senior citizens.
