Dispute over refugees: Europe's reaction to Syria's political upheaval!

Österreich - The political tumult in Europe started a new chapter when the debate about Syrian refugees opened in the National Council. On the occasion of the last meeting of 2024, the focus was on asylum rights, especially in the light of recent developments in Syria. The Austrian EU MPs, including Harald Vilimsky from the FPÖ, demanded that Syrian refugees should return to their homeland in Austria. Vilimsky criticized the EU migration policy and emphasized that the protection of the external borders, as implemented by Viktor Orbán, is urgently needed, such as reported.

The situation is also tightened by the announcement by Interior Minister Gerhard Karner, who would like to introduce a "program for orderly return and deportation" for around 40,000 Syrians who have been looking for protection in Austria for the past five years. Karner particularly emphasizes that the program will concentrate on people who do not adhere to social values ​​or have become criminal, while Birgit Sippel, a social democratic MP in the European Parliament, warns that it is too early to send Syrian home, according to
