Austrian Defence Minister Hans
Peter Doskozil said Thursday Austria would not take in refugees
from Italy. "As long as there is illegal and uncontrolled
immigration, and Austria is strongly hit, there can be no
further legal away for asylum seekers," he told the APA news
agency. There were Con 36,000 asylum applications in Austria in
2016 compared to Italy's 120,000 or so, making Austria doubly
affected compared to Italy if population size is taken into
account.
