Hans Peter Doskozil (German pronunciation: [ˈhans ˈpeːtɐ ˈdɔskotsiːl]; born 21 June 1970) is an Austrian politician of the Social Democratic Party (SPÖ) who is serving as the governor of Burgenland since February 2019.

Doskozil was raised in Kroisegg, a district in the municipality of Grafenschachen in southern Burgenland, where he completed his compulsory Volksschule education.

[4] On migrant policy, Doskozil has at times adopted a harder line than his predecessor Gerald Klug.

In 2016, he successfully introduced new asylum measures, including a process under which migrants could be turned away at the border within an hour, which could be activated if lawmakers decree public order is threatened.

[5] As minister of defence, Doskozil increased the budget of the Austrian Armed Forces, which had halved in terms of GDP between 1985 and 2015, to a projected 1.3 billion Euros by 2020.

[6] After said budget increase, the number of interested parties for the job of a professional soldier doubled in 2017.
