Right-wing Politician Haider To Re-enter Austrian National Politics

Vienna  - Joerg Haider, the notorious right-wing politician, is set to reenter Austrian national politics after his Alliance for the Future of Austria designated him as party leader on Friday, weeks before general elections in September.

Haider withdrew from national politics in 2000, when he stepped down as head of the Alliance to concentrate on his job of governor of Austria's southern province of Carinthia.
