Johannes Hübner (born 7 October 1956 in Vienna) is a former Austrian politician and Member of the Federal Parliament for Vienna South-West for the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) 2008 - 2017.[1] He previously sat in parliament for Vienna District 4 (1986-1997). He was until October 2017 the party's spokesman on Foreign Affairs.
He graduated from Vienna University with a Doctorate in Law in 1979 and took articles 1980–86, when he commenced working as a lawyer. He is today the legal advisor to the FPO, which is the co-partner in the coalition government of Austria.
On 3 February 2023, leaked emails revealed that a Kremlin-linked lobbying group offered payments to several European politicians to promote pro-Russia policies. According to these emails, Johannes Hübner was in this group of these politicians, and he gets €20,000 for holding a speech in the Austrian parliament against sanctions on Russia. He would have received an extra €15,000 if the vote had been successful.[2]
A Motion for a resolution was registered on the official parliament website on June 7, 2016, to cancel sanctions imposed on Russia due to "considerable "harm to the Austrian economy" (the same thesis as in leaked emails).[3]
