In short, Moria’s images should “be seen very closely again” and include parents with children under the age of 10, according to a comment posted Sunday afternoon. “Don’t become the heartless Chancellor, Mr. Kurz!” Kurz is “like no other European head of government in favor of a tough course on refugee policy,” writes the tabloid media.
Video: Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP) describes his opinion in relation to the burned refugee camp in Moria.
Furthermore, because he made a decisive contribution to the closure of the Balkan route as foreign minister in 2016, “he is being watched very closely in the debate on the right course for refugees in Europe.”
“But what he says and doesn’t do (!) After the fire in the Moria refugee camp is increasingly becoming a ruthless course,” criticized “Bild”. The comparison with 2015 is “misleading because the situation is in no way comparable.” At that time there was a “massive flow” brought on by the Syrian war and the policies of Turkish President Erdogan, as well as “a direct route to Austria or Germany.” “All of that is different today.”
“The Austrian Chancellor should take another look at Moria’s photos and videos: these children need help NOW, we have to rid them of the dirt. Kurz could lead by example if he really is a modern, conservative head of government with Christian values and wants to be a role model. I could say that your country is ready, for example, to take in children under 10 with their parents immediately. “
The comment was written by “Bild” Deputy Editor-in-Chief Paul Ronzheimer, who knows the head of ÖVP well. Almost three years ago, Ronzheimer wrote a biography about Kurz, which in return gave the German journalist rare access to his family.
In the comment, Ronzheimer also tries to explain why the ÖVP boss is still tough on the refugee issue. “It’s HIS topic, he’s so deeply convinced that an admission sends the wrong signal that he made it clear to the Greens in the coalition negotiations: We can talk about anything, but NOT admit more refugees! This is how Kurz wants to be permanently “. secure the votes of former FPÖ voters. The vote will take place in Vienna this fall, and Kurz is looking into that as well. “
Kurz is a frequent interviewee for the largest German newspaper, which has so far reported benevolently on him. Following the victory of the ÖVP chief in the National Council elections last September, it was said: “Kurz’s victory and his election campaign show what he can do and what the CDU, his sister party, lacks in Germany in the top: clear themes, rhetorical talent, few mistakes. (…) And now she can do something that Merkel has not achieved in Germany: black-green, or a cooperation with Greens and Liberals (Neos) called in Austria the coalition ” Dirndl “. That would make Kurz a political model to follow across Europe.”
