Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg will hold the office of Federal Chancellor. This was announced by the office of the federal president. The decision comes as the previous head of government, Karl Nehammer, resigned at the weekend.
Austria's conservative-led government will remain in control until a new coalition government is formed.
The Eurosceptic, Russia-friendly FPO party, an ally of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz party, won the last parliamentary election in September with around 29% of the vote, but was initially sidelined after centrist parties tried to form a coalition without him. .
Those efforts failed at the weekend, prompting President Alexander van der Bellen to begin work on forming a new government. (A2 Televizion)
