Vienna: After killing a 13-year-old, government members are calling for hardship

The death of a 13-year-old in Vienna led to political discussions about possible changes to deportation regulations. Individual members of the ruling ÖVP are now calling for hardship.

After killing a 13-year-old in Vienna, Austria’s ruling conservatives want to accelerate deportations abroad. The two 16 and 18-year-old suspects from Afghanistan were transferred from police custody to a prison on Wednesday. “People who want protection from us and who trample on our values ​​and also express this in action have no business with us,” said Chancellery Minister Karoline Edtstadler (ÖVP). After the “barbaric murder” one would think about changes in deportations.

Chancellor Kurz against the ban on deportation to Afghanistan

The 18-year-old had a criminal record for drug offenses and theft. Therefore, his status as beneficiary of subsidiary protection was revoked. The 16-year-old was an asylum seeker. The police are investigating other possible suspects, said a spokesman for the German press agency. For tactical reasons, he said nothing about reports about a fugitive young man.

Edtstadler pointed out that the 18-year-old was able to appeal against his deportation despite three convictions. Austria’s Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP) spoke out against reconsidering deportations to the crisis country Afghanistan, which the co-ruling Greens had called for. “There won’t be a deportation stop to Afghanistan with me,” he said.
