The initiative #AusbildungStattAbschiebung, initiated by the current Minister Rudi Anschober and supported by many NGOs, business people and private individuals has made a lot of difference.The apprentices, mainly from Afghanistan, have received a so-called "inhibition" and can complete their apprenticeship.

Antje Hochholdinger, actress #StopDeportationToAfghanistan

"There is a war going on in Afghanistan", with that the Austrian actress and director Antje Hochholdinger says everything that needs to be said on the subject of "no deportations to Afghanistan".

And we will continue to do so until everyone has enough information on the topic and understands why deportations to #Afghanistan are a violation of human rights and unjustifiable! Attacks in Afghanistan are a daily occurrence, different media report regularly.Hardly anyone in Afghanistan is not affected by violence, the effects of the war. There are no safe places, as the BFA claims. …

In short, the cross and the minister - "Flock stay together", or "The Good Shepherd".

The #Aschbacher picture, I find it, like most people here, terrible.on the one hand, which many notice, because of the children. But let's talk about everything else! For me, the picture is a symbol of what this party constantly, always wants to suggest to us: harmony, protection, a wonderfully relaxed life that we have to work hard for and when we are confronted with Catholicism ...
