(ANSA-AFP) - BOLZANO, OCT 7 - "The allegations are false, but precisely because they are false, they give me the strength to defend myself and move forward." Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz told the media before meeting President Van der Bellen. "It is right for justice to investigate anyone, but the presumption of innocence, at least until yesterday, is a pillar of our democracy," Kurz added. "The OEVP - he continued - will work to ensure stability in the country. With the Greens, we have governed well so far, even during the pandemic, but if they now feel they want to seek a new majority, they are free to do so.
