Kogler: Kurz’s resignation is the right step
(NOTE: THIS POST IS WITHOUT SPEAKER TEXT.) Vice-Chancellor and Werner Kogler (The Greens) in Vienna: “Sebastian Kurz’s resignation from the office of Federal Chancellor is a right and important step for future government cooperation in responsibility for Austria.” / / “Now a variant has been chosen that we proposed to the government partner of the ÖVP. The ÖVP has proposed Foreign Minister Schallenberg as a candidate for the Chancellery. This means that we can continue the government work on the basis of the government program. There are many important projects within for the people in Austria. Above all, it is now possible to adopt a budget. We can bring in the budget together, which is very important to the Federal President, and rightly so. We can finance many projects. And we can, for example, press ahead with the last major project that we just negotiated, the ecological and social tax reform. I discussed all of this over the phone with Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen, Sebastian Kurz and Foreign Minister Schallenberg. In addition, I will meet Alexander Schallenberg tomorrow for a one-on-one conversation. “
Austria’s Greens leader and Vice Chancellor Werner Kogler described the resignation of Chancellor Sebastian Kurz as right and important.
