Austria: resignation of all far-right ministers

Austria: The right-wing government coalition ended on Monday with the departure of all FPÖ ministers, three days after the broadcast of a compromising video for nationalist leader Heinz-Christian Strache.
All ministers from the far-right party Freedom Party (FPÖ) left the Austrian government on Monday as a result of the scandal that left FPÖ vice-chancellor and leader Heinz-Christian Strache on Saturday. The ministers had warned that they would resign if Interior Minister Herbert Kickl, a member of the FPÖ, was pushed to the exit by Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, who wanted him to leave late Monday afternoon. "In agreement with the President of the Republic, I proposed to the President of the Republic to dismiss the Minister of the Interior (Herbert Kickl)," said Chancellor Sebastian Kurz at a press conference Monday in Vienna........
