Austria's new Cabinet greeted by chorus of boos
At least 2,000 angry protesters chanted anti-government slogans today as Austria’s president swore in a new centre-left chancellor and his Cabinet, a “grand coalition” forged more than three months after hard-fought elections.
The mid-morning ceremony in the ornate former imperial Hofburg Palace made Alfred Gusenbauer, whose Social Democrats narrowly won the October 1 vote, the country’s new head of government.
