FPÖ warns: Vienna pushes asylum responsibility in Lower Austria!

Wien, Österreich - The FPÖ Lower Austria sharply criticizes asylum policy in Vienna and warns of the consequences of such a migration policy. LAbg. Martin Antauer emphasizes that the increasing daily acts of violence of young people under the age of 14 in Vienna must be interpreted as evidence of the failure of immigration policy. He decides the transfer of responsibility to the federal states, especially in Lower Austria, and makes it clear that they will not take up any delinquent young people from Vienna.

Antauer calls for a fundamental realignment of the integration policy and underlines the need to take into account the cultural context. In his opinion, it is unrealistic to expect an integration of people who come from cultures in which violence against women or child marriages are accepted. He advocates respect for the basic Austrian values, which contain the protection of women and children, the right to education and the separation of religion and state.

integration as a key topic

The focus is not only on the topic of integration of refugees in Austria, but also in Germany, where public debates have been led since 2015, especially after the 2015/16 Cologne New Year's Night. These discussions address values, leading culture and social cohesion in an immigration society. According to a research project by the Robert Bosch Foundation, the social and cultural integration of refugees is examined in order to gain a better understanding of gender roles and religious diversity. This illustrates the complexity of the integration theme and the interlinked structural, social and cultural aspects that play a role in this.

The integration of refugees is also evident in terms of their economic success. According to a current OECD report, Germany is given a positive testimony to the integration of refugees into the labor market. In 2022, the refugees' employment rate reached a record high of 70 percent, which underlines the integration success of recent years. These numbers position Germany as a pioneer in international comparison. However, there are also critical voices that indicate the ongoing challenges, especially for migrants with low school education.

challenges in integration

Despite positive developments, the need for action in some areas does not fail to materialize. Migrant -related women with small children, especially from Ukraine, are facing problems. The OECD report shows that only every fifth immigrant person has employment in the main employing age, and that a large part of the successfully integrated refugees in Germany is not sufficient to reduce the high dependence on government services.

Overall, it can be observed that there is a variety of additional challenges during the integration process for many. The debate about the values and the cultural identity remains central, both in Austria with the warnings of the FPÖ and in Germany, where you have to actively work for a coexistence in diversity. The creation of a respectful coexistence requires a continuous examination of the different cultures and value systems.
