Vice Chancellor and Ecological Leader Werner Kogler advocates for the admission of 100 refugee families from Lesbos. He told krone.tv on Tuesday that this was no longer just about immigration or refugee policy, but about a humanitarian emergency. “It’s about providing first aid, you can’t just look the other way,” he said: “Because what’s happening on Lesbos is just unacceptable.”
Austria would do well to host these families, in agreement with other European countries: “The turquoise half will not fall off the crown.” The Greens have always shown a clear stance here and have done something about it.
It is also not a coincidence that many church organizations and political decision-makers in the ÖVP have spoken out. “Well, we are fighting for it. We have not yet convinced our colleagues in government, that is quite obvious, but that is why we do not give up,” Kogler said.
