The Austrian National Council, or “Parliament,” rejected the opposition’s allegations of corruption today, on Wednesday, by withdrawing its support for the government led by Counselor Karl Nieham.
At today’s National Assembly session, the counsellor vehemently refuted the accusations of corruption levelled against him, the People’s Party, which he leads, and the government, declaring, “I am not so and not so.” Independent courts, however, are limited to responding to these accusations.
In light of the current issues, the opposition advisor urged the implementation of a “sincere strategy” and declared that corruption “definitely has no place in Austria.”
The advisor emphasised upholding the law’s authority and rejecting unfounded allegations and defamation.
The Social Democratic and Freedom Party has asked Wolfgang Subotka in the Parliament to revoke confidence in the administration due to allegations of corruption.
The opposition’s allegations of corruption have not convinced the Austrian Parliament to remove its support for the government.
