The federal capital of Vienna also offers courses on citizenship rights or minimum income in Turkish or Arabic. MA 17 speaks of appropriate integration measures, but the ÖVP criticizes “disrespect”.
Migration to the “feel-good oasis of Europe” is on the rise again, with the federal capital Vienna in particular acting as a real migration magnet with its generous social benefits. In addition, in Vienna often only small services are needed for integration. Instead, migrants receive citizenship and social services education in their mother tongue.
For example, in the current newsletter of MA 17, in addition to the subject of citizenship law in Turkish, there are also dementia lectures in Polish and the topic “General information on minimum safety, child benefit and childcare allowance” can be explained in Arabic.
Turquoise criticism of pink welcome culture
The ÖVP speaks of “serious mistakes”: “Vienna has not even come close to processing immigration since 2015, the integration of especially young Afghans or Syrians has often failed. Unfortunately, integration councilor Christoph Wiederkehr has not learned from the mistakes of the time and continues to pursue a reception culture consisting of seating groups and advisory services,” mutters ÖVP integration spokeswoman Caroline Hungerländer.
In the Office of Return (NEOS), the delicate ball is passed to MA 17 (Integration) where they speak with conviction of “necessary measures” for integration: “Information events in different languages allow people to learn about complex legal issues such as right of residence or communicating citizenship in an understandable way, while contributing to the promotion of multilingualism in our diverse society,” the department said in preparation for the National Day.
