Political career
A former journalist and schoolteacher,[2] Anschober served as a member of the National Council from 1990 until 1997 and held various positions in state politics.
Throughout his tenure in government, Anschober worked on the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Austria. He consistently called for stricter lockdown measures in the face of high infection numbers, clashing with Chancellor Kurz and his party.[3] By April 2021, he was diagnosed as suffering from high blood pressure, high blood sugar and early-stage tinnitus, which led him to resign from his office, effective 19 April 2021.[4] At the time of his resignation, he was one of the country's most popular politicians.[5]
