Kreisky, Bruno

Kreisky, Bruno, 1911-90, Austrian Socialist politician. He served as a diplomat and foreign affairs minister (1959-66). His goal of Austrian independence and neutrality was realized in a treaty in 1955 that he helped negotiate. Elected chairman of the Socialist party in 1967, he led the Socialists to victory in 1970 but failed to gain a majority of the seats in parliament. After the People's party under Josef Klaus refused to continue the long-standing coalition, Kreisky became chancellor and formed a minority government, the first single-party government in Austria since World War II. He gained a majority in 1971, and was known for his "active neutrality" with Eastern European neighbors. As chancellor, he increased Austria's role in world affairs and presided over a growing economy. He resigned in 1983.

Bruno is the latinized version of the Germanic male given name Brun. It is also one of the most frequent Italian surnames, also occurs, less frequently, as a given name.
