“The allegations of the judiciary against Chancellor Kurz, his closest colleagues and the ÖVP are serious and unique in the Second Republic.” The chancellor had to answer to parliament, said SPÖ vice club boss Jörg Leichtfried in a broadcast.
“We are all witnessing the moral decline of the ÖVP – a party that once supported the state. There are serious allegations at the table. It is about inciting unfaithfulness and corruption. If you take political responsibility seriously – and a head of government bears a high level of political responsibility – and when.” if you have a spark of decency, then the Chancellor himself would have to take the consequences. We will request a special session in parliament. Sebastian Kurz has to answer questions from the public. The suspicion weighs heavily, “said Pamela Rendi- Wagner.
“Kurz now has to take responsibility”
FPÖ club chairman Herbert Kickl also called for Kurz to resign. “If the government and obviously also the Federal President are unable to act, Parliament must pull the emergency brake. Given the current developments, the Chancellor’s resignation is inevitable. If Sebastian Kurz does not take the only conceivable consequence by the time of the special session, we will help with a motion of no confidence. “
“The house searches and the allegations show that Sebastian Kurz first seized the party leadership with unfair means and then won the 2017 election. The National Council has to deal with this cause,” emphasizes the deputy NEOS club chairman Nikolaus Scherak. “The Federal Chancellor must now finally take responsibility for the Republic and its institutions, otherwise the Federal Government will no longer be able to act. Sebastian Kurz cannot continue to damage Austria’s reputation.”
