FPÖ General Secretary Schnedlitz claims that Kickl was successful as interior minister. He should know better than that.

Vienna (OTS) – “As far as its party chairman Herbert Kickl is concerned, the FPÖ lives in a fantasy world. This is nothing new. But if you go so far as to begin to sugarcoat Herbert Kickl’s not-so-glorious tenure as Interior Minister, the personality cult slowly blossoms. The blue general secretary, Michael Schnedlitz, recently said in an interview in the ‘Kleine Zeitung’ that under Kickl the number of asylum seekers had fallen massively. But he forgets that under Kickl there were not only significantly more asylum seekers in basic care than under Minister Karner, but also significantly higher costs – for the federal and state governments. It’s good that the shambles in the Ministry of the Interior that Kickl left behind have now been cleaned up,” commented ÖVP spokesman for integration and migration, Ernst Gödl, on the statements made by FPÖ Secretary General Michael Schnedlitz on Friday in the ‘Kleine Zeitung’ ‘.

“Kickl’s incompetence is not surprising either. After all, the FPÖ has only the total isolation of Austria as a panacea and has nothing but mockery and malice for effective international cooperation due to its short-sightedness,” said Gödl, who finally emphasized: “In Burgenland there has been a 55 percent decrease in arrests in the past few weeks to record. This is further proof that the federal government’s asylum brake. works. This trend also continued in May.”
