The migration issue determines the election campaign and for years also the political debate between the ÖVP and the FPÖ. But were deportations really more frequent under Herbert Kickl as Minister of the Interior than under Gerhard Karner? The “Krone” has listed the figures, parallels and differences for you.
For years, there has been a battle between the ÖVP and the FPÖ over who has sovereignty in the area of asylum. Soberly speaking, the Blues raised the issue of illegal migration much earlier than the ÖVP. It was former Chancellor Sebastian Kurz who gave the People’s Party a different political orientation. Even as Foreign Minister, the ‘closing of the Balkan route’ was his political responsibility. Kurz was happy to ignore the fact that the Turkey deal negotiated by Angela Merkel was a basic condition for this.
