russian investor: The new election is not a wish, it is a necessity, Chancellor Kurz said, according to CNN. The snap election decision was sparked by the resignation of Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache on Saturday, after a video surfaced showing him appearing to offer government contracts to a woman who claimed to be a Russian investor and niece of an oligarch. We are of the same opinion, that after these events it is not possible to go back to business as usual. What is important now, and that is the uppermost requirement, is to ascertain a full explanation of what happened. Strache also resigned as head of the Freedom Party on Saturday. We need all the suspicious facts which have arisen as a result of the video to be verified; that naturally concerns themes of potential abuse of power, to questions of potential criminal concern, Kurz added.
