Austria’s Kurz returns as world’s youngest govt. head

The leader of Austria’s conservatives Sebastin Kurz was sworn in as the world’s youngest democratically elected leader, at the head of a coalition with the Greens. ‘Protect the climate and the borders’, the 33-year-old has become Chancellor of the Alpine country’s first government to include the Greens, an arrangement called “exotic” and “unlikely” by Austrian media. The government aims to please both parties by pushing for Austria to be carbon neutral by 2040 and also continuing previous strict anti-immigration measures.
