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.
