Former Austrian Chancellor reprimanded his successor for not wanting to punish Russia
According to Kern, current Chancellor Sebastian Kurtz is pursuing an "erroneous and inconsistent policy."
Kurtz needed to “either implement the decision taken at the March summit of EU leaders to expel diplomats, or oppose him,” the politician said.
It turned out to be illogical: Austria, along with the rest of the EU countries, expressed solidarity with London, but refused to send workers to the Russian diplomatic mission.
According to him, the "zigzag policy" of the leadership "has driven the country into a corner."
The former head of government recalled that his country is “part of the Western world.”
In the Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP), of which Kurtz is a member, responded to the criticism of the former chancellor with some restraint.
