The Institute for Demoscopy and Data Analysis has obtained extensive research on refugees, the Middle East and Ukraine. The “crown” knows the results.
After the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, questions immediately arose whether the refugees could now be deported to their home country. Like Germany, Austria is considering encouraging voluntary returns. For a bonus and travel organization.
The Institute for Demoscopy and Data Analysis (IFDD) has conducted a representative survey (1,250 respondents) on behalf of “Krone”:
- Accordingly, 43 percent believe “probably not” that Syrians will return voluntarily.
- 23 percent are sure they won’t do it.
- In contrast, only two percent of respondents are certain that Syrians now want to voluntarily return to their home country.
Pessimism in the Middle East and Ukraine
The institute also gauged the public’s mood regarding other trouble spots. The war in Ukraine remains a central theme in the attention of the Austrians.
- 51 percent of respondents do not believe that the war will end in 2025, only four percent are convinced of this.
- 31 percent think this is likely.
- The situation in the Middle East is also assessed pessimistically, says IFDD boss Christoph Haselmayer: Almost 80 percent believe that the situation will not calm down.
There were also questions about withdrawing from the European Human Rights Commission, which would, among other things, make deportations easier. 66 percent are against it. Haselmayer: “A clear signal.”
