Kickl had more asylum seekers and those entitled to asylum in basic care than Interior Minister Karner
Vienna (OTS) – “The FPÖ is wrong: Austria sets the tone on the asylum issue, the facts confirm that. Thanks to the intensive efforts of Federal Chancellor Karl Nehammer and Interior Minister Gerhard Karner, the Union is finally moving, even if many steps still have to be taken. Without the commitment at EU level, the financial commitments for increased external border protection, the massive expansion of infrastructure at the EU’s external borders and the common will to put a stop to the smugglers would not have been articulated in such a way. Our strategies are a role model for many countries, above all for Germany. Clear and stricter regulations are needed as to who has the right to asylum and who doesn’t,” said the People’s Party’s spokesman for integration and migration, Ernst Gödl, and went on to emphasize: “The next step is faster, stricter and therefore fairer procedures at the EU external border”
“The radical Kickl-FPÖ is a master of forgetting, as there were more asylum seekers and people entitled to asylum under the then Interior Minister Kickl than under Interior Minister Karner. The asylum applications are falling every month, the system is relieved and the procedures are carried out more quickly. This is a record that Kickl might only have dreamed of. Kickl and Co didn’t achieve anything and are now throwing smoke grenades in the hope of being able to cover up their own failure,” concluded Gödl.
