The breakup of Austria’s government dealt a blow to Europe’s far-right movement ahead of EU elections this month
A video showing the leader of the junior partner in Austria’s ruling coalition offering public contracts to a woman he believed to be a Moscow oligarch deals a blow to the Continent’s far-right movement before European Union elections this month.
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz dissolved the government on Saturday night after Freedom Party leader Heinz-Christian Strache, a prominent anti-immigration advocate with links to Russian President Vladimir Putin, resigned in the wake of the video’s release.
