Austrian public broadcaster ORF added a bizarre touch to the swearing-in of the new conservative-Green coalition government when it mistakenly ran subtitles from a telenovela.

The incident went viral Wednesday after it mistakenly aired with soap opera subtitles of "Alisa – Follow Your Heart," suggesting he was offering the president a job as a cleaning lady.

Kurz was sworn in Tuesday as the world's youngest democratically elected leader at the head of an unlikely coalition with the Greens following the collapse of his Conservatives' previous alliance with the far-right.

The subtitles appeared on the ORF public television website in a rerun of the ceremony led by President Alexander Van der Bellen, lending a surreal air to the event in the luxurious Hofburg Palace in Vienna.

Excerpts of the broadcast, which carried text from the German soap opera that had run just before, went viral with the amusing words.

"What's up, you little chick?" Bellen seemed to be telling 33-year-old Kurz.

Under footage of Kurz with the president, the caption had a quote inquiring if he was "interested in a job as a cleaning lady."

When the new minister of defense shook the head of the state's hand, the subtitle said, "Thanks, Daddy."
