Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz waves to his supporters at the political headquarters of Austrian People’s Party, OEVP, in Vienna, Austria, Monday, May 27, 2019. (Ronald Zak/Associated Press)VIENNA — Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz was ousted by parliament in a no-confidence vote Monday, paving the way for a new election. “It was clear for me that it meant the end of the coalition,” Kurz said. “He made the entire Freedom Party responsible for the wrong actions of two people,” Kickl told parliament. In Austria’s previous government, a coalition between the Social Democrats and People’s Party, Kurz became Austria’s foreign minister and helped reinvent his party’s image and reinvigorate support.
