Career

In the 2017 elections, Krisper gained a seat in the National Council.

In addition to her committee assignments, Krisper has been a member of the Austrian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe since 2020. In this capacity, she has served on the Committee on the Honouring of Obligations and Commitments by Member States of the Council of Europe (Monitoring Committee) (since 2022); the Committee on the Election of Judges to the European Court of Human Rights (since 2020); the Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons (since 2020); and the Sub-Committee on Migrant Smuggling and Trafficking in Human Beings (since 2020). [3] On behalf of the Assembly, she authored a 2022 report on safe third countries for asylum seekers. [4]

In October 2025 Krisper resigned her mandate claiming that NEOS was lacking the courage for an ideology counter the FPÖ [5] and planning to continue her work for human rights and against corruption independently. [5] [6] Krisper had served close to eight years as MP; her resignation coincided with NEOS joining the 2025 triple coalition government. [5]
