epa07612499 Brigitte Bierlein (L), president of the Austrian constitutional court, looks on during a press conference with Austrian President Alexander van der Bellen (R) at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria, 30 May 2019. Van der Bellen nominates Bierlein as interim Chancellor until the general elections in September. Bierlein succeeds Sebastian Kurz who was ousted as Chancellor by a no-confidence vote in parliament on 27 May in the wake of a scandal involving the Austrian Freedom Party (FPOe), the coalition partner of Kurz's Austrian People's Party (OeVP).
