Austria’s Green Party The Greens are questioning Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz’s ability to lead the country after a preliminary investigation into corruption, bribery and infidelity was launched against him.

All facts must be put on the table, says Green Party leader Werner Kogler the day after house searches made against the governing party ÖVP, the Ministry of Finance and the Federal Chancellery in Vienna. “We can not continue as usual. The Federal Chancellor’s ability to act is questioned with this in mind “, says Kogler, who is also Deputy Chancellor, in a statement.

In addition to Kurz, nine more people are under investigation.

The suspicions are that Kurz and his staff in 2016, when Kurz tried to become party leader, must have used tax money to buy ads in the newspaper Österreich. As part of the same deal, the tabloid must have published fake news and hairdressed measurements in Kurz ‘favor.

All opposition parties demand that Kurz resign. He himself denies the crime and announces that he has no such plans.
