FPÖ against multilingual driving license test: integration or exclusion?

In the heated debate about the driver's license test in Austria, the FPÖ and the small party Söz (Social Austria of the Future) are irreconcilable. Söz chairman Hakan Gördü asks the FPÖ to check their own principles: "Mr. Nepp has gone to school in Austria and had English lessons for years. If he believes that you have to make exams in a foreign language, I ask him to take the driver's license test in English," said Gördü. With this provocative request, he criticizes the position of the FPÖ, which rejects a multilingual driving license test.

Dominik Nepp, the Viennese FPÖ boss,, on the other hand, emphasizes that only German can be accepted as an official language in Austria. In an interview with Today, NPP said that the SÖZ's demand for the multilingual examination is a danger to integration: "The German language is a fundamental part of integration in Austria. she has to speak and understand. " The FPÖ warns that an examination in different languages ​​could encourage migrants to areolate itself from the German language and society, which could lead to "ghettoization". This view is sharply criticized by Gördü, which emphasizes that it is the FPÖ who actively hinder the integration of migrants with its measures.
