Migrants: Austria, drop asylum applications
Minister, who doesn't have the right to stay must leave
15 November, 19:22
(ANSA) - BOLZANO - Asylum applications are dropping in
Austria, while there is a boom of forced returns. Between
January and October, they have been registered 21,130 asylum
applications, which corresponds to a drop of 43.3% by the same
period of 2016. The roof of 35,000 requests per year, that
Vienna has been self-imposed, is therefore still far away and
probably it will not be achieved.
The number of voluntary returns also dropped by 16% (4,089), while forced ones grew by 50,7% (5,788).
Satisfied Austrian Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka: "Each application - he said - is evaluated individually, in different degrees and independently. Who though has no right to stay, he must leave our country. That is why we aim strictly on returns".
