bmk1245 Posted May 19, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Quote Austria chancellor calls for snap election after corruption scandal Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has asked for a snap election after his Vice-Chancellor, Heinz-Christian Strache, resigned over a corruption scandal. Mr Kurz's centre-right People's Party is in government with Mr Strache's far-right Freedom Party. The Freedom Party leader stepped down after secret video footage emerged. The video appears to show him discussing government contracts with an alleged Russian investor. Mr Strache blamed his actions on alcohol and acting like a "teenager", saying his behaviour had been "stupid" and "irresponsible", and that he was leaving to avoid further damage to the government.

Kinda funny, Pravyj Sektor (Ukrainian nationalists party) is banned in russia, while Putler shakes hands with Marine Le Pen (the same ideology as Pravyj Sektor). Anyway, good for Austria, got rid of corrupt russophile. Edited May 19, 2019 by bmk1245 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
