VIENNA (Reuters) - Austria's Greens, the junior party in the coalition government, questioned Chancellor Sebastian Kurz's ability to stay in office on Thursday after he was placed under investigation on suspicion of bribery, and said they will consult with other parties.

The Greens, a left-wing party that campaigned on "clean politics", said they had invited other parties in parliament to discuss next steps.
