Family reunifications and immigration from Ukraine pose problems for Vienna. Now people are demanding help from the federal and state governments. Vienna states that they are not fulfilling their obligations. A fact check on a debate that is becoming increasingly widespread politically.
Since the refugee wave in 2015, there has been discussion about how refugees in Austria can be accommodated better and more fairly without bringing individual regions to the brink of collapse. To this end, asylum quotas for federal states were introduced. These are calculated based on the respective population size. There are no penalties for non-compliance. The result: Vienna is the only state to have exceeded or exceeded its quota in recent years – currently at 198 percent.
