Austria nominated its interior minister as the country’s third chancellor in as many months, enduring a change in power in the midst of a lockdown and with politics in turmoil. Karl Nehammer, known for his hard line on immigration, was picked as chancellor and new chairman of the ruling People’s Party after a meeting of the conservative group’s leaders in Vienna on Friday. The 49-year-old career politician faces the task of navigating Austria out of strict pandemic restrictions and implementing a controversial vaccine mandate, all while looking to revive support for his party and keep a shaky governing alliance intact.
