Nepp warns: Ludwig's citizenship reform endangers our Vienna!

Wien, Österreich - The Viennese FPÖ boss Dominik Nepg reacted sharply to the statements of Mayor Ludwig on citizenship. Nepp emphasizes that citizenship is not only a legal document, but above all means responsibility towards Austria and Vienna. He criticizes Ludwig's plan to reduce the hurdles to citizenship and to strive for a coalition with all parties apart from the FPÖ. Nepp sees this as an attack on citizenship and the democratic system.

Ludwig is accused of prioritizing an immigration that Nepp feels inappropriate. The FPÖ boss expresses concern that decisions about the city government are not made by the Viennese, but are made by an inappropriate policy. In this context, NPP promises that the FPÖ wants to stand up for real integration and clear rules and enforce a zero tolerance policy towards illegal immigrants. He also warns that Ludwig will be punished for his anti -democratic exclusion in the upcoming election in 14 days.

migration and asylum policy in Austria

The FPÖ is not solely in its view of migration and asylum. The ÖVP also pursues similar goals. Together they want to stop the illegal immigration and harder against asylum seekers: proceed. Rejected asylum seekers are to be deported inside, while the FPÖ calls for an "asylum -upper limit" that could prohibit the positions of asylum applications in Austria. However, such measures could violate international human rights obligations and consider access to fair asylum law considerably.

Both parties are committed to ensuring that asylum seekers: no longer receive cash benefits inside, but are only supported in the form of payment cards or benefits in kind.

demographic development and migration in Vienna

The variety in Vienna is remarkable. With around 180 nationalities, more than 44.4% of the residents live in the city: inside with foreign roots. In four out of 23 Vienna municipal districts, more than half of the residents have: inside foreign ancestors. Austria attracts more migrants: inside than countries like Germany or France, which is due to the historical and cultural interdependencies.

Without migration, the population would shrink; By the mid -2050s, population growth for immigration will be forecast. Migrant: In the inside, 13.2% of the resident population now accounts for, and the reasons for immigration are diverse, comprise protection against persecution and the desire for a better life.

Migration policy in Austria has changed again and again since the 1960s. If the naturalization rate for foreign nationals in 2022 was only 0.7%, this shows the restrictive measures of recent years. A third of the population entitled to vote in Vienna has no right to vote, which is caused by the lack of citizenship.

Ultimately, migration remains a central topic in Austria's past and future, which not only shapes current politics, but also everyday life in the city. Political parties must continue to deal with the challenge of finding a balance between integration and the needs of the local population.
