Austria’s former chancellor on trial for allegedly misleading corruption inquiry
Sebastian Kurz, former ‘wunderkind’ of Europe’s conservatives, said he is innocent and condemned ‘politicisation’ of case
Austria’s former chancellor, Sebastian Kurz, insisted he was innocent as he went on trial for allegedly giving false testimony to an inquiry into corruption scandals that have rocked the country.Once hailed as a “wunderkind” of Europe’s conservatives, Kurz is the highest-profile figure implicated in a series of scandals. The case marks the first time in more than 30 years that a former chancellor has stood trial.
Kurz stepped down as chancellor two years ago after a string of allegations against him, including allegedly spending public money for favourable media coverage.
It marked a spectacular fall for the charismatic hardliner, who in 2017, at the age of 31, became the world’s youngest democratically elected head of government.

Let them eat burgers! Austrian chancellor says low-income families should eat at McDonald’s
No money for food? Go to McDonald’s, Karl Nehammer says.Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer has come under fire after video footage emerged in which he says low-income parents should feed their children burgers from McDonald's.
In the footage, Nehammer talks about poverty before complaining about how child hunger is dealt with in the press.
"So what does it mean that a child doesn't get a hot meal in Austria? Do you know what the cheapest hot meal in Austria is? It's not healthy, but it's cheap: a hamburger at McDonald's — €1.40, if I buy fries with it, €3.50. Now someone is seriously claiming that we live in a country where parents can't afford this meal for their child," he said.
"If I have too little money, I go to work more," he added in the video, which was filmed during a wine-and-cheese event near Salzburg —

And Wow - Matt Gaetz sits and slams pubs for being "too friendly, getting along with and passing bipartisan bills w/Dems"... all while speaking from the Dems podium. Can't make that shit up.
