Austria's vice chancellor has resigned.
Heinz-Christian Strache stepped down Saturday after two German newspapers — Der Spiegel and the Sueddeutsche Zeitung — posted video footage of him appearing to offer state contracts to a potential Russian benefactor.
Strache said Saturday he was the "victim of a targeted political attack," but admitted that his actions in the video were "stupid and a mistake."
Political analysts say the scandal throws into the question the governing coalition between Strache's anti-immigration Freedom Party and Chancellor Sebastian Kurz's center-right People's Party.
Neither politician has commented on the future of their alliance.
