VIENNA - Austria’s coalition government teetered on the brink of collapse on Saturday after video footage published by German newspapers apparently showed Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache discussing state contracts with a potential Russian backer in return for political support.
Senior figures in the government - a coalition of Sebastian Kurz’s conservatives and Strache’s far-right Freedom Party - held a crisis meeting on Friday night. The video was reported on Friday evening by two of neighboring Germany’s leading media - weekly Der Spiegel and newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung - purportedly showing a meeting in Ibiza between Strache, another party official and a woman purporting to be the niece of a Russian oligarch.The footage, recorded in July 2017 - months before the election that brought this government to power - showed Strache talking to the woman.
Strache has headed the party since 2005, bringing it back to mainstream electoral success not seen since it was led by the charismatic Joerg Haider. It secured 26 percent of the vote in 2017’s parliamentary election.
