In an article on www.ots.at, it can be read that FPÖ federal party chairman and parliamentary group leader Herbert Kickl has sharply criticized SPÖ leader Babler. Kickl described Babler as a wrong-way driver in terms of asylum policy, who does not want to stop illegal mass immigration, but only wants to continue to manage it and even encourage it. Kickl stressed that Hungary should not be seen as an enemy in terms of asylum and migration policy, but as a role model.
According to Kickl, the Hungarian government's restrictive immigration policy resulted in only thirty asylum applications being submitted last year, while Austria recorded almost 60,000. Kickl argued that Hungary puts the interests and security of its own population above the perceived need for protection of illegal immigrants who enter Europe via various safe states.
Kickl therefore demanded that Austria should follow Hungary's example in asylum and migration policy and seek allies at the European level. He condemned distribution models as promoted by the EU elites and the other parties, as they would not put a stop to illegal mass immigration and would thus lead Austria and Europe further towards the abyss. Kickl stressed the need for a "zero quota" for asylum applications and presented the idea of a "Fortress Austria" that would envisage an immediate asylum stop, pushbacks, rigorous deportations and de-attracting Austria as a destination country for illegal immigrants.
Kickl stressed that the National Council election on September 29th was an important decision for the future of Austria in terms of asylum and immigration policy. He accused the ÖVP of hypocrisy because it had allowed over 240,000 illegal immigrants into the country since 2020. Babler's SPÖ wanted to fuel this madness with "legal" escape routes. The Greens and NEOS were in favor of even more mass immigration at the expense of the citizens. Kickl stressed that the Freedom Party was the only political force that wanted to stop this "new mass migration" in the interests of the population.
It remains to be seen how the discussion about asylum and migration policy in Austria will continue and whether the FPÖ’s demands will prevail.
