On the one hand I really want to get this stupid song out of my head, on the other hand I'm happy every time I'm reminded of what's currently happening :D Namely probably the biggest political crisis in Austria in decades and the downfall of the right-wing government. After a video surfaced that exposed plans of blatant corruption and more, (ex-)neo-nazi Vice Chancellor Strache and deputy leader of his party Gudenus had to go and new elections were announced, then the Minister of the Interior Kickl was kicked out, now there might be a motion of no confidence against Chancellor Kurz... (Brief already out-of-date summary via the better summary by selenak because I'm too lazy to look for articles.)

I was away with the choir this weekend, so I missed a lot of the excitement, though we did all read the news on our phones during breaks and postponed a rehearsal to watch the chancellor's speech (not worth it.) (I also missed Eurovision, but somehow that barely registered this year.)

There are more exciting developments every few hours, also absurd details and not-fun-at-all revelations and some chaos, and I'm not sure how optimistic I am about the September elections or positive long-term consequences, but right now I just enjoy that some of these right-wing assholes finally have to go. (Although apparently Strache is planning to stay involved in Viennese politics...)
