Scandal in Steyr: Refugee boycotted German course for teacher!

In a explosive incident in Steyr, Upper Austria, the refugee of a refugee to take part in a mandatory German course caused considerable outrage. The reason? The teacher was a woman. This was discussed by Christian Dörfel, the State Council of Integration of the ÖVP, in an interview with the * Kronen Zeitung *, where he made his annoyance over the behavior of the participant. Dörfel also reported that there were reports, according to which female German trainers were exchanged for male in some organizations in order to reserve the partly expressed reservations. "We cannot accept that such views can be found in an integration course," said Dörfel, making it clear that respect for female authority must be encouraged.

Stricter guidelines in integration

In order to counteract such incidents, the state of Upper Austria plans to introduce stricter guidelines for the German courses. The number of German courses is to be increased to over 6000, whereby local dialects should also be taught in addition to High German. Dörfel made it clear that it is not only about language, but also about values ​​such as equality and respect. "Anyone who rejects our way of life or questions social achievements has no place with us," he emphasized. The introduction of a "house rules" is intended to determine clear social values ​​and obligations.

In December 2024, 3644 asylum seekers were registered in basic care in Upper Austria, a decline compared to the beginning of the year. This clarifies that integration is possible under certain conditions and with the correct setting. Dörfel strives to present the success stories of successful migrants and thus set a positive sign for newcomers in order to motivate them to integrate, as is emphasized in the report by * Exxpress.at *.
