The Big Interview – Father Sporshill: “I’m always for refugees”

Date:

On Christmas Day, Jesuit and social minister Georg Sporshill, 76, talks to Conny Bischofberger about hardships in Austria and elsewhere, politics on the backs of refugees, and why we do something good for ourselves when we help others (not just at Christmas).

A small side street opposite hotel “Intercontinental” on the Heumarkt. Father Georg Sporshill opens the door on the first floor of the old building. At Christmas, the Viennese office of the association “ELIJAH” is always transformed into a bee house. Sporshill’s comrade-in-arms Ruth Zenkert is piling up boxes of relief supplies that will be on their way to Romanian Transylvania in the afternoon. Since their departure from Concordia, Sporshill and Zenkert have been caring for neglected Roma children and their families.
