Nice news from Austria: After the birth of their child, Sebastian Kurz and Susanne Thier are looking forward to the first Christmas party for three.
The Austrian ex-Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has announced the birth of his first child.
«My friend Susanne gave birth to our son in the early hours of the morning. We are overjoyed and very grateful! ”Wrote the 35-year-old party leader of the conservative ÖVP on social media. His partner Susanne Thier and the baby would have survived the birth well.
Kurz resigned as head of government in October after corruption investigators searched the Chancellery and the ÖVP headquarters, among other things. Kurz and some of his close political colleagues are suspected by the prosecutor of having circulated manipulated polls in the media. Public funds are said to have been diverted for this. Among other things, the allegation of infidelity is in the room.
Kurz, who denies the allegations, moved to parliament after resigning as group leader. He also remained chairman of the ÖVP. Kurz and Thier have been a couple since they went to school together. Thier works in the Ministry of Finance.
