Burgenland Head of State Hans Peter Doskozil again attacked the course of the federal SPÖ.
When it comes to the question of whether Austria should accept refugees from Moria (Greece), opinions are divided. Not only in the turquoise-green federal government is there a heated discussion about how to answer them, but also in the population, as the “Today” poll shows. The SPÖ has so far accepted the course, but apparently only apparently.
Clash with Rendi-Wagner
On Tuesday alone, the Vienna state parliament and municipal council, at the initiative of the SP, came out in favor of the admission of 100 children from the Moria camp, but for Burgenland head of state Hans Peter Doskozil, more are needed that “individual measures” to “calm the social conscience”. .
Therefore, Doskozil is also, once again, against the slogan issued by the leader of the federal SPÖ party, Pamela Rendi-Wagner, “Saving lives is never a symbolic policy.”
A solution is required across Europe
First, the federal government must reach an agreement and create legal regulations for the admission of refugees, Doskozil said. “Today”. It considers that Austria “has not advanced more than in 2015”. The question of distribution, repatriation or also the question of border security is open. Chancellor Kurz would have had enough time to carry out the necessary negotiations.
“History repeats itself” – Hans Peter Doskozil
But now relying on “individual measures” just to “calm the social conscience and be able to see again how people drown in the Mediterranean every day” is also the wrong way. Finally, a European-wide solution is needed: “Procedural centers outside the EU and effective protection of the EU’s external borders” is the demand of the Burgenland head of state.
Doskozil is not the only SPÖ state politician who is at least distant from accepting refugees. In his opening speech, Styrian SP party leader Anton Lang spoke in favor of secure EU external borders – “The EU failed there” – but did not say a word about accepting refugees from the Greek islands. This had brought him juicy criticism from the Association of Socialist Students (VSStÖ).
