Open LETTER in The
Guardian and Der Standard on why Austrian refugee politics is wrong, cruel and dishonest, by
Marion Hoffmann (former representative of UNHCR), Regine Wiesinger (German School,
Athens) and Winfried Lechner.
Postscript 2018: Sebastian Kurz, the
initiator of the Austrian refugee politics, is the current Chancellor of
Austrian, in a coalition government with the ultra right wing FPÖ. Even though member of a so-called ‘Christian’ conservative party, he
and his government still pursue an inhuman immigration policy, e.g. by
expelling juvenile, fully integrated refugees - or by extraditing gay
adolescents to Afghanistan, where the penalty for same-sex sexual activities is
execution. This stance is hard to reconcile with the fact that Vienna was voted
the world’s top city for quality
of life multiple times since 2018.
