Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has called for snap elections following a corruption scandal involving his deputy. Thousands of people gathered outside the Austrian chancellery condemning the Chancellor’s coalition with the far-right Freedom Party to which his deputy belongs. The Freedom Party has been condemned in numerous demonstrations in Vienna over its anti-Islamic and racist policies.
