Austria's ex-chancellor Sebastian Kurz announces his resignation from all political duties two months after coming under criminal investigations
Austria's former chancellor Sebastian Kurz has said that he is quitting politics, two months after stepping down as leader amid corruption allegations.
He has been the dominant and most polarising figure of Austrian politics since 2017 when he became OVP leader and then chancellor, winning a parliamentary election and forming a coalition with the far-right Freedom Party .He has most recently come under fire for not doing more to prevent the latest wave of Covid-19 infections, which prompted the current national lockdown. He led his party in two parliamentary elections in 2017 and 2019, becoming chancellor after both.
Many conservatives believed Kurz's successor as chancellor, career diplomat Alexander Schallenberg, was merely a place-holder until Kurz could clear his name and return.His OVP is one of the main traditional parties in Austria but under Kurz it has largely been built around him, leaving no obvious choice to succeed him as its strongman.
