Austria's Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has called for new elections on Saturday after the release of a video showing his far-right vice chancellor, Heinz Christian Strache discussing government contracts with an alleged Russian investor. "After yesterday's video, I must say quite honestly: Enough is enough," Kurz said. The BBC says the woman offered to buy a 50 percent stake in a prominent Austrian newspaper and switch its position to support the Freedom Party. The chancellor attributed his actions to drinking, and to acting like a "teenager," saying his behavior had been "stupid" and "irresponsible." Both party leaders have attempted to create a balance between Kurz's mainstream conservative party and Stache's far-right Freedom Party, but over time that coalition has eroded, leading to Saturday's boiling point.
