secondIf they have the same qualifications, preferential employment should be granted to migrants. One expert warns: “That would only fuel the fire of the immigration debate!”
On the online political guidance help Wahlkabine.at, the party around the main candidate Birgit Hebein stated that it wanted to give priority to immigrants over Austrian applications for jobs near the city.
“Today” he asked the Greens what they were thinking.

Expert: “It’s about equal treatment, not improvement”
How clever is this suggestion? And do those affected, that is, the migrants themselves, really want that?
“Today” confronted integration journalist and communication expert Nedad Memić with the Greens’ proposal: “It’s true, there aren’t enough migrants in the city, at least not in visible places,” Memić agrees “Today”. But a migrant quota or pre-ranking is the wrong way, it asks for more “sensitivity”: “On the one hand: ‘Migrants’ do not exist, we are people like everyone else and we only want to be seen as such. The immigrant population group in Vienna it is too heterogeneous to group everyone, “Memić said. Also, many would not want any priority or a better position compared to “true Viennese”, it was about “equal treatment, no preference”. And: “There is already enough tension on the ‘foreigner issue’. An immigration bond would only add fuel to the fire,” says Memić.
You have to show the migrants: “This city belongs to you too!”
It is about institutions opening up to all people, including migrants who are not called Huber or Maier. This has not happened enough yet, and those affected often simply lack networks, says the expert. It would also be important to “create an atmosphere in which people who were not born here also dare to apply for positions in the administration and companies close to the city,” Memić said. It must be clearly shown to migrants: “This city also belongs to you! And that would also require representatives of this group in visible places in the city,” the integration journalist is convinced. It is important that recruitment is done on the basis of qualification. Anything else will only lead to more tensions, Memić warns against dividing the “real” and “fake” Viennese.
