Austria's conservative Chancellor Sebastian Kurz stepped down from his position on Saturday. Kurz took the step in a bid to save the coalition. "I would therefore like to make way in order to end the stalemate, to prevent chaos and to ensure stability," Kurz said. Kurz also recommended the name of Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg to President Alexander Van der Bellen for the post of chancellor.
