Not “immediately”: Ordinance to stop the family reunification is a long time coming

With the plan to suspend the family reunification for asylum-entitled and subsidiar persons entitled to protection, the new federal government is serious-but wants to short-circuit beforehand with the EU interior ministers and the EU Commission. On Tuesday afternoon, Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) sent information about the plans in this regard by email. On Wednesday, Karner, EU Commissioner Magnus Brunner in Brussels will inform about the project in Austria, to stop family reunification.
