Schledlitz demands: Foreign criminals immediately deport it!

The discussion about the need for deportations and the overload of the judicial systems in Austria is re -lit. FPÖ general secretary Michael Schledlitz emphasizes that last year over 46% of the convicts in Austria does not have Austrian citizenship. The situation is alarming with around 11,740 non-Austrian criminals in the Austrian prisons. About 5,000 of these criminals come from other EU countries, while almost 6,735 from third countries, such as [ots] (https://www.ots.at/presseaus-sung/ots_20250603_ots0127/fpoe-schnedlitz-weg-weg-Weg--show- -notwende--in-der-Heimat) reports.

Currently more foreigners are in custody than Tyroleans. Schnedlitz demands that all non-Austrian offenders be deported to their home countries without their consent. These deportations are said to be a sensible political self -defense act against overcrowding the prisons, especially since the costs for a prisoner are around 200 euros a day. The FPÖ general secretary suggests using an increasingly use of ankle cuffs to reduce costs. There should be no exceptions for certain groups such as asylum seekers or Islamist.

claims and statistics

The statistics speak a clear language. In 2024, over 850 Syrians were convicted, with fewer than 30 of them actually deported. In this context, Schledlitz criticizes the ÖVP and Interior Minister Karner for their insufficient measures to deport. These problems are also reflected in Germany, where over 220,000 people who are subject to departure live. In many cases, these deportations fail due to bureaucratic hurdles, since often no passports can be issued, and simple returns are time-consuming and personnel, as https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/abschieben-ausreisen-ausreis-100.html) note.

The discussion about the connection between migration and crime is also underpinned by research results that do not constitute a direct connection. As stated in the report of the [Media service integration, there is no direct connection between origin and crime, but migrants are often affected by conditions that promote crime, including bad social and financial experiences.

Nevertheless, the debate about the need for deportations and the appropriate measures to reduce criminal offenses remains a tie. It demands extensive political measures to solve the problems associated with illegal immigration and crime without losing sight of the rights and humanitarian situation of those affected.
