The problem with the current asylum system is basically anyone can come in and say: "look, Russia, US, UK, France and coalition blew up my middle eastern country, so now countries like Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Austria who had nothing to do with it, need to give me asylum to me and my whole family, simple" which makes the system very easy to be gamed as the ECHR forces you to accept anyone who crosses your border and claims asylum with a well rehearsed sob story.
So, is there any surprise of the growth of right wind in Europe? The bigger issue is that voting right wing won't solve this since they legally can't, it's not under their control but the ECHR, so we just keep moving right while suffering the same immigration issues making it a double whammy.
The solution is to reform the ECHR membership and give sovereignty over asylum policies to the member country instead of an foreign org people can't vote for.
Especially now, when Russia and Belarus are weaponizing illegal migration by giving them visa free travel for money to Russia and Belarus so they can then storm the borders with Finland, Norway and Poland. Recently a Polish soldier working the border with Belarus got stabbed on duty by a migrant trying to force the border[1]. This is obviously unacceptable and should mean proper military response against illegal border crossings.

- Rinzler89 2y agoWhich middle eastern conflict did Austria take part in?
- stop50 2y agoThey contributed Troops to the ISAF troops in afgahnistan for example. Correction: wrote Usaf instead of ISAF
- Rinzler89 2y agoWhat? Austria not Australia.
- stop50 2y agoBoth countries sent troops, australias was much bigger.

- stop50 2y agoOEF != ISAF https://web.archive.org/web/20220120001326/http://www.nato.int/isaf/docu/epub/pdf/placemat.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20220120001326/http://www.nato.i... OEF is an NATO Operation, Austrias policy is not to join any International primary Military Organization.
- mikhailfranco 2y agoOK, good. So ... 3 soldiers (about 20% of Tonga's contribution)
- mikhailfranco 2y agoAustria: GDP $516.0b, pop 9.0m Tonga : GDP $000.5b, pop 0.1m So Tonga 1/1000 GDP and ~1/100 pop contributed 5x more soldiers than Austria. There's a Coldplay song: Tonga: "Para-para-para-dise" Austria: "Para-para-para-site"
- pistolpeteDK 2y agoRintzler89 is still right though. Hardly any asylum seekers in eastern european countries because “nordic welfare” > “eastern european welfare” Not an easy thing to fix
- cenamus 2y agoThe right wing parties act as if we could just return people to Syria, Afghanistan and whereever just as we wand, no questions asked. That you need to cooperate with these countries to return people there...
- Rinzler89 2y agoWhich we can't really return since that would mean cooperation with the Taliban. And even if we could cooperate, the countries then don't want them back or will demand various favors or bribes in return so then you're basically funding some terrorist regime to return 3 illegal migrants.
