In particular tragic events lead to rapid action: after the murder in Graz, the federal government will therefore decide next week on a package of measures, which takes into account the claims of all three government parties, compensates for victims and contains elements to prevent such acts.
The murderous statements in a Graz school shifted the entire country in a dramatic way. As great as the sadness and concern, the federal government now wants to decide on an extensive package of measures, with which tragic events such as better prevent, have helped sacrifices – and the right of weapons is also tightened.
The package in the ministerial council must be decided next week – the “Kroon” already knows The most important points:
- Creating a compensation fund for the persons involved, with whom financing costs, psychological care, etc. are financed. In addition, specific measures must be financed in the school concerned.
- The greatest possible flexibility for the oral matte, including the possibility without excluding oral matura in the affected school.
- Increased the presence of police in close coordination with the educational director until the end of the school year.
- Massive increase in school psychology and school psychological staff, including compulsory discussions with school villages.
- Strengthening the concepts for safety and prevention in schools.
- A considerable tightening of the arms law due to stricter suitability requirements for possession of weapons and limitations on the access of weapons for certain groups of people.
- Better data exchange between the authorities and arms restrictions with an individual risk situation.
- Stronger monitoring and mandatory measures with endangered young people.
- Use for stricter regulations in dealing with social media for children and adolescents
“After such a terrible act, one cannot pass the agenda. Now it is important to divert measures to it. We will do everything we can to minimize the chance that such violent acts will be repeated,” explains ÖVP Chancellor Christian Stocker.
Spö Vice Chancellor Andreas Babler was especially important to tighten the arms legislation. The Vice Chancellor adds: “There is no reason why after 18 years without strict research you should be able to buy a shotgun. The federal government will initiate a significant tightening of the arms law in the coming days. We will considerably limit access to weapons for certain groups of people and make it difficult for weapons.
