(ANSA) - BOLZANO, 02 DEC - The political earthquake caused in Austria by the farewell to politics of former Chancellor Sebastian Kurz is causing more and more victims.
After the announced resignation of the current Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg, in the evening the Minister of Finance and Kurz's loyalist Gernot Bluemel also threw in the towel.
Involved for some time in an investigation by the anti-corruption prosecutor of Vienna for the nominations of Casinos Austria, Bluemel also leaves the position of leader of the Oevp in Vienna.
With the resignation of Bluemel, the popular party is always less Turquoise (the color given to it by Kurz) and becomes more and more black (the color that the conservatives had since the war).
