Otto von Habsburg MAN WITH A MISSION - Gene H Hogberg - March 1984

Gene H Hogberg

A leading European Parliamentarian speaks out on the dangers and challenges confronting Europe today. From time to time, the editorial staff of The Plain Truth endeavors to bring to the attention of our audience the views and opinions of leading personalities who have, or will have, a great impact upon the world in the months, and years ahead. One such individual is Otto von Habsburg, a member of the European Parliament, but much more than that-one who may well be a leading architect of the Europe of the future. Otto van Habsburg, many believe, has a clearer grasp of international affairs than almost any political figure alive. Of course, Dr. Habsburg is no average politician. He is the head of the 700-year-old House of Habsburg, one of the most prestigious royal families in European history. Although no longer a claimant to the Austrian throne, Dr. Habsburg is nevertheless active daily in the political field. Since 1979, he has been a delegate to the European Parliament, representing an area of Bavaria in West Germany. He travels widely, speaks often and writes (he has 24 books to his credit) as much as time permits. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
