Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz left office on Tuesday after parliament voted out his provisional government. The vote was the latest in a political crisis brought on by a video recording. The video was filmed in 2017, but released only recently. Its images led to the ouster of Heinz-Christian Strache, Kurz’s second in command in the government. Strache is the head of Austria’s Freedom Party, or FPO. The events do not necessarily mean the political end of 32-year-old Kurz, however. He is still the leader of his People’s Party and wants to lead it back to victory. His party came in first in the recent European Parliament election. “I am still here,” he told party activists after parliament voted on Monday. After the vote, Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen officially relieved the cabinet of its duties.
