Sebastian Kurz is the prime minister of Austria, serving since December 2017. He is a member of the establishment Austrian People's Party and leads a government coalition which includes the conservative Freedom Party of Austria.
Kurz is frequently labeled a "conservative," though in reality, he is a right-of-center liberal and moderate globalist. For example, in addition to attempting to willingly dissolving the FPÖ–ÖVP government, he also attempted to remove Austria's anti-mass migration interior minister from his position.[1] On May 27, 2019, after Kurz ousted the FPÖ from the country's government, Austria's parliament pushed him out of office through a no-confidence vote.[2]
