Ukrainian refugees travelling on Austrian territory in cars worth more than €250,000 can hardly be considered in need of protection, Heute reports.
Harald Vilimsky, the FPÖ’s main candidate for the EU elections, expressed bewilderment at the Ukrainian refugees “who are waiting out the war” in a hotel on Ringstrasse.
The FPÖ is in the lead in the National Council elections. Former General Secretary Harald Vilimsky will once again be the leading candidate. He said in the newspaper interview about Ukrainian refugees in Austria:
“We all see the Maybach cars, the Q7s, the Q8s, the Mercedes G-Classes driving through Vienna – when I see these cars in the 250,000 euro price range upwards, I think to myself that these are not the classic people in need of protection who are waiting out the war in a hotel on the Ringstrasse. That’s my personal view of things.”
Vilimsky emphasised that he “understands when elderly people, women, sick people come to the country” – then “nobody has anything against it”, he says.
Harald Vilimsky generally disapproves of the federal government’s migration policy. He said:
“We don’t need people from Arabia or Africa. For me the goal is zero, the defence of European borders and fortress Europe.”
