The measures taken by Interior Minister Gerhard Karner once morest the smuggler mafia are having an effect
Vienna (OTS) – “Interior Minister Gerhard Karner is successfully pulling the brakes on the entire asylum area. The hard fight once morest the smuggler mafia, the consistent border point and border area controls as well as fast asylum procedures in Austria mean that asylum applications in Austria fell by 52 percent in July compared to the previous year and more smugglers are caught red-handed,” said the security spokesman and General Secretary of the People’s Party, Christian Stocker.
“Just today another smuggler was picked up in Linz. For us, this is confirmation that the consistent fight once morest illegal migration is showing success. And the balance sheet shows that the measures taken by Interior Minister Gerhard Karner in the fight once morest the smuggler mafia are having an effect: apprehensions in the summer have fallen by 60 percent. This makes it clear that the asylum brake is destroying the business model of the smugglers. We would like to thank all the police officers who have implemented the measures taken by the Minister of the Interior over the past few months,” concluded the Secretary General.
