VIENNA - Austria’s conservative Chancellor Sebastian Kurz is due to issue a statement at 7:45 p.m. after far-right Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache stepped down on Saturday, Kurz’s office said. Kurz has yet to speak publicly since a video of Strache was published by German media on Friday evening, apparently showing Strache offering to funnel state construction contracts to a company in exchange for political and financial support. Opposition parties have called on Kurz to call a snap election.
