Want change now – climate bonus for asylum seekers: the FPÖ voted for it too

Climate bonus also for asylum seekers. What an excitement. Co-responsible for the spectacular departure of Laura Sachslehner as ÖVP General Secretary. This is not the only reason why she no longer sees her party’s values. The problem: your party and the Greens passed the law this year. Yet others of the ÖVP – such as the Tyrolean top candidate Anton Mattle – are protesting against; probably because he hopes this will help him before the September 25 elections.

It gets even weirder. According to its DNA, the FPÖ also messes with extra payments for non-Austrians and asylum seekers. “This is pure mockery of the Austrians, who are up to their necks on the cost of living,” said FPÖ re-elected leader Herbert Kickl and Upper Austria’s deputy governor Manfred Haimbuchner. Look at this: the FPÖ also voted turquoise green for the bill in June. How does that work?

FPÖ in defense and attack mode
“We voted against the law on both ballots in January,” Secretary-General Michael Schnedlitz said when asked by “Krone”. In June, in the interest of the Austrian people, who are already suffering so much, a special meeting approved only more legal certainty and an increase in the amount from EUR 250 to EUR 500.

For ÖVP club president August Wöginger, the excitement of the blues is pure “hypocrisy. You voted for both the increase in the climate bonus and the anti-inflation package.” General Schnedlitz, meanwhile, calls for a change in the law: “Asylum seekers and prisoners must be removed from the circle of recipients.” The subsequent realization probably comes too late for a law change.

Ask again for the “departure centers”
Incidentally, the turquoise-green government does not favor a restrictive asylum policy, as the FPÖ would. Departure centers and immediate rejections are needed. “Instead of the Welcome Service, a functioning border guard.”
