Cynicism and Moria: Minister Schallenberg in “ZiB 2”

What signals do you send with the reception of people from Lesbos? The foreign minister warns of the pull effect, and a migration researcher is dismayed by this approach.

Their opinions are very, very different: what Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg (ÖVP) said on Wednesday night first in “ZiB 2” and then migration researcher Gerald Knaus in “ZiB Night” really was not from the hand. At least they agreed that the images seen after the fire in the Moria refugee camp were scary. And that there is an emergency there.

How should, can or should Austria (and Europe) help? Schallenberg adopted an attitude that interviewer Armin Wolf referred to more than once with the word “cynical.” He had offered money, the minister said, and then also spoke of blankets and tents that could be given. But people should not be accepted in Austria, not even a hundred unaccompanied minors, as the city of Vienna has proposed.
