New record – red alert for asylum applications: 450 per day

Date:

In the shadow of the inflation and energy crisis, a wave of refugees moved across Austria. The police are at their limit.

While there were almost 42,000 asylum applications at the end of July, the dynamics have intensified again. Official figures are not (yet) available, but by the end of August, up to 56,000 migrants should have applied for protection in Austria. In one month alone, that would be about 14,000 requests – an average of 450 per day.

And the upward trend continues in September. More and more security experts expect that the previous record numbers (89,000) in the year of the refugee crisis in 2015 will even be exceeded this year. The focal point in the arrest of illegal immigrants is our eastern border or the Balkan route, once declared closed by a former chancellor.

In any case, the local police is already at its limit. To relieve Burgenland, the Ministry of the Interior has appointed 50 additional officials from other states.

Accelerated procedures should also help economic migrants who generally have no opportunities from holiday destinations such as Tunisia and Morocco, as well as India and Pakistan.
