The Kurz government creaks in Austria after reporting the vaccine chaos

Chancellor Kurz last Friday denounced the vaccine bazaar and the unequal distribution among the various countries. Obviously states like Bulgaria and the Czech Republic praised it, but it didn't go so well in Austria. Although Austria, he said, was not handicapped by EU policy, the "Black-Green" coalition that leads the country was shaken.

The Viennese health minister is Rudolf Anschober, of the party, or ally, of the Greens, and he came out quite badly. Kurz hinted that the officials of the various health ministries of the EU countries, therefore also the Austrian one, have treated independently in the European context, ignoring the indications of their ministers. Basically Anschober has passed for a fool who gets sidetracked by his own officials, and this is not exactly nice. Relations between the Greens and the OVP (Kurz's party) have entered into crisis.

The problem is that the official in question, whose suspension the CDU has requested, is called Clemens Martin Auer and comes from the OVP. He would not have informed his ministry of the modalities of distribution of the second round of vaccine batches. Anschober announced that he would no longer participate in EU meetings, but also that there are not enough reasons to suspend him.
