Austria's Freedom party likely to support no-confidence vote against Sebastian Kurz

Austria's Freedom party will probably support a no-confidence vote scheduled for Monday against Austria's conservative Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, news agency APA said on Monday. The party will "likely support" the motion brought against Kurz, the Austrian news agency cited Norbert Hofer, former Austrian vice-chancellor and a senior figure in the party's leadership, as saying.

The no-confidence vote had been brought after a secretly filmed video of former Freedom party chief Hans-Christian Strache prompted the dissolution Austria's government coalition between his party and Kurz's conservatives.
