Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz is expected to face a no-confidence vote in parliament next week after his governing coalition collapsed over a corruption scandal, AP reported.
According to the Austria Press Agency, Speaker Wolfgang Sobotka, a member of Kurz's conservative People's Party, set a special session of the legislature for Monday, saying that he wanted to "give space to the EU election campaign." Austria elects European Parliament lawmakers Sunday.
The opposition 'Now' party has drawn up a no-confidence motion seeking to oust Kurz before an early national election expected in September.
Days ago, far-right Freedom Party leader Heinz-Christian Strache, who was vice chancellor, resigned as he was shown on video appearing to offer favors to a purported Russian investor.
