FPÖ attacks Karner: Failure in the terrorist attack in Villach!

There are heated arguments in the National Council after the terrible terrorist attack in Villach, in which a 14-year-old boy was brutally stabbed. The FPÖ, led by Herbert Kickl, accuses Interior Minister Gerhard Karner of the ÖVP of not being able to prevent this incident. FPÖ General Secretary Christian Hafenecker accused Karner of wanting to “sweep the attack under the carpet.” Karner firmly rejected the allegations and emphasized the quick response of the police, who were at the scene within seven minutes, as well as the large number of helpers who were on site to provide support. This incident has reignited the security debate in Austria oe24.at reported.

In the midst of this heated debate, Karner Kickl, who wanted to turn the FPÖ into “Fortress Austria,” accused him of being a “hustler” who made promises that he himself had never kept. In an interview with “Welt”, Karner called for Germany to support the establishment of asylum centers in safe third countries. He announced that Austria would no longer accept migrants from third countries after the adoption of a new European asylum policy. The Interior Minister also called for a more restrictive EU migration policy to prevent illegal entries. “Many migrants come from vacation countries and have practically no chance of asylum,” says Karner. He proposes blanket deportations for these groups in order to ease the burden on the system and prevent setbacks. Further details are on the press to read.
