Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer says he will resign in the coming days after talks on forming a new government failed a second time.
George Amaro, 24, is accused of shooting and killing 27-year-old Frank Vallejo Jr., San Antonio police said. Amaro is facing a murder charge and two other charges, according to Bexar County jail records.
He said that “destructive forces” in the Social Democratic Party have “gained the upper hand” and that the People’s Party will not sign on to a program that is against economic competitiveness. Babler said that one of the main stumbling blocks had to do with how to repair the “record deficit” left by the previous government.
The next government in Austria faces the challenge of having to save between 18 to 24 billion euros, according to the EU Commission. In addition, Austria has been in a recession for the past two years, is experiencing rising unemployment and its budget deficit is currently at 3.7% of Gross Domestic Product — above the EU’s limit of 3%.
