FPÖ specifically advertises Turkish voters: outcry at the ÖVP!

Wien, Österreich - The Viennese FPÖ relies on Turkish voters to increase their votes in the upcoming elections in April. This has triggered concern, especially at the ÖVP, which speaks of a "betrayal of one's own electorate". According to a report by Krone , advertised advertisements in Turkish newspapers are pointed out to mobilize this important voting group. The criticism is intensified because the FPÖ is related to the "political Islam" in connection with the Turkish President Erdogan. FPÖ boss Dominik Nepp was accused of being connected to Islamist groups, which he vehemently rejects and explains that the advertisements do not officially come from the party leadership.

parallel to these political maneuvers, the ÖVP and the FPÖ pursue a common line in migration policy. Both parties urge them to strictly control illegal immigration and to deport rejected asylum seekers. Changes that affect asylum policy are extremely controversial and could result in considerable legal problems, as reported by the Wiener Zeitung . A proposal for the introduction of an "asylum -upper limit" that would completely stop the acceptance of asylum applications in Austria is in conflict with international law and human rights. In addition, pushbacks are to be allowed at the limits, a measure that violates EU law and endangered the fundamental right to asylum.
