Austrian far-right party likely to back motion to oust chancellor
Sebastian Kurz faces no-confidence vote after his party tops EU election polls despite video-sting scandal
Austrian politicians are likely to sack the chancellor, Sebastian Kurz, in a no-confidence vote after the leader of the far-right party indicated it would probably vote against him.
Kurz’s conservatives came out on top in Sunday’s European parliament elections despite a video-sting scandal a week ago that involved the far-right Freedom party (FPO) leader, Heinz-Christian Strache, which brought down their coalition government. Strache then resigned from all his political posts.
