Migration policy
Praise for Dobrindt’s border policy when visiting a job in Vienna
Initially, Austria reacted skeptically to the planned rejections of asylum seekers by Germany. Now Vienna has been swung. However, questions remain open when changing the course.
Federal Minister of the Interior Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) received backing for his tightened border policy when visiting Vienna. Austria welcomes the more robust controls, said his Viennese counterpart Gerhard Karner from the conservative ÖVP in the evening. “There is the saying” Strict bill, good friends “. I say: “Strict controls, good friends and good neighbors”, “said the interior minister after the meeting with Dobrindt.
“This is something that serves our common goal of putting migration policy off the head on the feet in Europe and ensuring that illegal migration is further pushed back,” said Dobrindt. He had intensified border controls shortly after taking office. At the same time, he ordered that asylum seekers can also be rejected by the German borders.
In the past, the Interior Ministry in Vienna emphasized that Austria did not want to take over any migrants rejected by Germany. Karner left open what the Austrian news agency APA reported. “There is no evidence that there have been illegal rejections,” he said according to the Austrian broadcaster ORF. Austria’s Economic Minister Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer had previously praised the increased German border controls.
