The foreign rioters of the devastating Halloween night must have the full force of the law. In addition to the withdrawal of asylum status and the like, possible evictions are causing a stir.
Can he or he can’t – that’s a big question in the causa fine of homeland security policy. We are talking about Interior Minister Gerhard Karner, who announced in full after the Halloween riots in the country that he would revoke the asylum status of the often foreign violent criminals and also deport them through deportation. For Afghans, Syrians and other compatriots from crisis countries, the situation is probably much more complicated than expected.
“Acceleration requirement” for suspected rioters
From a purely legal point of view, Karner’s hands are tied, even with the withdrawal procedure: “The situation is not that simple. In refusal procedures, there must be a conviction for a serious offense such as manslaughter or rape. This is an artificial excitement on the part from the Minister of the Interior,” explains Lukas Gahleitner-Gertz of Asylum Coordination. Meanwhile, the Interior Ministry is calling for an “accelerating demand” for the alleged rioters. Whichever direction the pendulum of justice swings, Karner is coming under pressure.
In any case, the current situation with deportations is difficult. By September of this year, 40,299 asylum applications had already been negatively processed, but charter planes to the countries of origin are largely scarce.
France as a role model for “political hardliners” Karner?
Compared to the “Krone”, the ÖVP minister is still belligerent when it comes to the rioters. “Anyone who can be proven guilty of criminal offenses should expect to have to leave Austria,” Karner said.
The Law & Order strategy is currently gaining momentum from France. Migrants with a request to leave the country must be registered in the “Grande Nation” as wanted persons – without entitlement to social benefits. A path that should be unthinkable in Austria.
