In the run-up to the state elections in the autumn, the ruling People’s Party in Vorarlberg is now taking a controversial step: according to information from “Krone”, the federal state will be the first federal state in Austria to introduce a so-called asylum code from July. 1st.
Every asylum seeker and asylum seeker must sign it: values course, learning German, commitment to community service. Failure to comply will initially result in a warning, followed by reductions in asylum benefits.
Last year, Vienna’s ÖVP leader Karl Mahrer also spoke out in favor of a code for asylum seekers in the federal capital. “Yes, this asylum seeker code should also be there in Vienna,” he said in an interview with crown.tv. Because refugees must identify with their host country and accept our values.
What other state governors are saying
Similar voices also came from the other VP-led countries. The Styrian regional leader Christopher Drexler can also imagine a ‘Styrian code’, as he informed the ‘Krone’. Upper Austrian Governor Thomas Stelzer referred to the mandatory German language requirement in social security, which was first introduced in his state.
Lower Austrian state leader Johanna Mikl-Leitner (all ÖVP) referred to the measures that have been anchored in the government program with the FPÖ.
