Tightening of migration policy
Austria becomes the first European Union country to suspend family reunification for refugees. This measure, effective for six months and extendable until 2027, aims to preserve the country's healthcare, education, and employment systems. The conservative government, under pressure from the far right, justifies this decision by the increase in arrivals. Nearly 7.800 people were reunited with relatives in 2024. NGOs denounce this as an infringement of fundamental rights.
