Austria officially announces through Karl Nehammer the very important decisions that affect both the Schengen Area and the accession of Romania, and this is because the well-known chancellor of the government in Vienna continues to insist on the idea of limiting the social benefits that are offered to immigrants if they do not spend at least 5 years in the country.
Austria would like not to offer the minimum income guaranteed by social assistance to these people if they have not actually spent 5 years on the country's territory, and Karl Nehammer says that this rule would already apply to other citizens of the European Union, so they should to apply including for any other persons who request and receive the right of asylum.
Austria wants to impose this rule to limit illegal migration, and thus reduce the pressure on the Schengen Area, but also on the countries that protect the borders of the European Union, Romania and Bulgaria being the target of many attacks from Vienna, and not only that, because of the large number of migrants who reach the center of Europe every year.
"Essentially, it is the need to bring to the country those workers who are necessary. On the other hand, people who came to Austria illegally should be deported. Immigrants should receive social benefits only after 5 years of residence, the minimum income being one of those granted.
It would be legally feasible as no discriminatory rule is planned here. The five years should simply apply to everyone, for EU citizens the waiting period is similar. Therefore, it is not normal to use a different method for those who have the right to asylum."
