About this person
On 22 May 2019, he was appointed Austrian minister of the interior, replacing Herbert Kickl who had been dismissed from office by President Alexander Van der Bellen. Originally, Ratz was going to serve as a cabinet minister of the transitional government until the General Elections in fall 2019; however, the entire second Kurz government was ousted by a vote of no-confidence, after it lost support in parliament by the former coalition partner FPÖ.
