Austria wrapped up it's coalition talks, and the new government is set. As much as folks thought the Presidential election was the 'big' deal and getting a Green Party President would stabilize things.....well, this center-right and right-wing government have reset the table entirely.
If you were an immigrant and considering Austria as a destination.....they've reshuffled the benefits, and it probably won't be that great of a deal.
For example. Prior to this government, you could become an immigrant and get a 'bonus' of 827 Euro upon arrival. Now? It's in the 550 Euro range.
The monthly payout for a family? In the previous government, you could make around 1,688 Euro per month.....now, it's maxed at 1,500 Euro.
Now when you arrive and hand over the paperwork.....they will ask for your cellphone. The authorities will read through the data to establish your ID and understand your plans or itinerary. If you fail to hand it over or lie about it existing? Well....that pretty much screws you over if they find out about the phone existing later.
Added to this.....your medical confidentiality will not exist if you have a "basic care" relevant disease....like for example....TB.
Will it make for a lesser number of asylum applicants? No one really suggests that. The cellphone idea probably will be brought up in Germany, but I doubt that they'd go that far.
