In case you're not joking: It's very common in Europe to abbreviate the last name of non-public figures when reporting on them. So it's a kind of anonymization.
On the other hand: that guy was the founding member of a party, so could be argued to be a (minor) public figure. But I guess this specific report is not directly tied to that "work" of his, so it could be considered in the private sphere.
Yeah this.
If anyone wants to know his full name (for whatever reason), you can find it on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Democratic_Party_(Austria)
Can I ask why the hunt? Like why not just do what I did here?
