Austria’s conservative-led government said on Friday it is offering Syrian refugees a “return bonus” of 1,000 euros ($1,050) to move back to their home country after the fall of Bashar al-Assad.
Conservative Chancellor Karl Nehammer reacted quickly to Assad’s overthrow on Sunday, saying the same day that the security situation in Syria should be reassessed so as to allow deportations of Syrian refugees.
Can we at least wait until the smoke settles? I don’t feel confident sending people back right now.
It’ll net them votes, then once the situation destabilizes and next wave of refugees come, they’ll get more votes because people are dumb. It’s a win win at the potential cost of Syrian lives. To the right-wingers, that’s not a cost.
Sadly I’m not a right winger and I’d prefer them to be safe. The refugees. The AfD can go to any war zone of their choice.
