The Chancellor of Austria, Sebastian Kurz, resigned this Saturday (9) from the post, days after the Attorney for Economic Affairs and Corruption announced that it has opened an investigation against him and nine other suspects for evidence of embezzlement, bribery and corruption. “I would like to pave the way to end the impasse, avoid chaos and ensure stability,” Kurz said.
The now former chancellor is suspected of having directed Austrian government resources to press agencies to cover him favorably. Kurz denies the allegations and plans to remain the leader of the Green Party and its main legislator in parliament, according to Reuters.
Kurz’s initials pointed out that the opening of the investigation made his tenure as chancellor untenable. The Green Party began negotiations with Austria’s three opposition parties on Friday, when they demanded that Kurz resign. They plan to file motions of censure against him at a special session of parliament on Tuesday (12), which would depend on support from the Green Party.
As party leader, Kurz proposed the name of Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg as the new chancellor, which has yet to be decided by the acronym.
