To deport or not to deport? That’s the question here. She put the “crown” on the Viennese parties, which have different approaches to this issue.
The year 2024 is approaching and opens the door to 2025 – and that will once again bring Vienna a time of “focused unintelligence”, as former mayor Michael Häupl once said about the election campaign.
We asked the parties – less than a year before the elections – how Austria should deal with the Syrians? Who should be deported? Who should be allowed to stay?
The government parties in the city first want to monitor the current situation. “The asylum stop was in line with that in other countries,” says Mayor Michael Ludwig (SPÖ). He also reminds us that the authority for “asylum, immigration and migration” lies with the federal government, which (still) does it without the participation of the SPÖ.
The NEOS wants to “continue to support Syrians,” Christoph Wiederkehr explains. Regarding “education, language and professional participation”.
The say the Greens
For the Greens under the new top candidate Judith Pühringer, a “deportation debate is pointless” because the security situation is still unclear.
It is no surprise that the FPÖ and the ÖVP agree on the deportation issue. For Blue frontman Dominik Nepp, the ring demo with the cheering Syrians is “the best proof that they can now start rebuilding their homeland.”
And Karl Mahrer of the ÖVP praises Chancellor Nehammer for his “quick response”.
He assumes that many refugees will voluntarily make the journey away from Austria. The FPÖ has already wished them a “safe journey home” as a precaution.
