The leader of the Austrian far right Herbert Kickl declared on Saturday that he wanted to reduce asylum to ‘zero’. He spoke in a general policy speech presenting what he would like to do if he became chancellor.
Coming into the lead for the first time during the last legislative elections at the end of September, the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) is currently in negotiations with the conservatives to form a government and obtain the chancellorship for the first time.
‘We are going to build our fortress Austria with rejected asylum applications, expulsion notices and charters,’ the party leader declared in front of a large crowd in Vösendorf, Lower Austria.
Figures ‘too high’
‘For us, asylum means protection close to the region in crisis’, not ‘disguised migration of people, entry ticket into the social system and access to nationality’, he added.
Considering that the figures for asylum applications filed in recent years were ‘too high’, he judged that in this area too, Austria ‘needs a zero, as for the zero deficit’.
-‘Return to both sexes’
For Herbert Kickl, a ‘return to both sexes’ is also necessary, ‘our families’ being ‘composed of the father, the mother and the children’. Austria opened the right to marriage and adoption to everyone in 2019.
Comparing the European Union which is rolling out ‘climate communism’ to ‘the USSR and its major plans’, he paid tribute to the post-war generation having rebuilt Austria ‘in the greatest misery’.
Herbert Kickl believes that his generation has an obligation to pass on to the next generation the ‘prosperity’ for which they have ‘worked hard’.
