“That's enough” said Kurz today during the media conference, adding that he would not insist that the UNMIK party stay in the coalition because they were involved several times in various scandals, Euronews reports.
According to the two prestigious German media, in July 2017, Heinz-Christian Strache, who is chairman of Austria's right-wing popular party, FPO, and his party colleague Johann Goodenus, during the meeting in Ibiza with the Russian had promised her tender if he would finance their campaign.
According to the recordings, which have provided the magazine “Der Spiegel” of Hamburg and the daily “Müddeutsche Zeitung's”, said the Russian, which appears to be half naked, had told the two rightists that it would invest a quarter of a billion euros in Austria. But the journalist who wrote the report says the Russian was a fake millionaire.
The leader of the far-right party, the Freedom Party, through the media conference added that until elections are held, they will give the name for the v. chancerlar so that the political crisis does not develop.
