On April 23rd at 9:05 p.m. on ORF 2; Guests in the studio: AMS boss Petra Draxl and asylum expert Lukas Gahleitner-Gertz
Vienna (OTS) – Susanne Schnabl will present the “Report” on Tuesday, April 23, 2024, at 9:05 p.m. on ORF 2 with the following topics:
Whose Miet Mafia
The “Report” uncovers further slums in which predominantly refugees from Syria live at inflated prices. This time three houses, all in Vienna Favoriten. None of the apartments have working heating, and mold and garbage are ever-present problems. Many of the apartments are designed as dormitories: up to four young Syrians sleep in a room that is barely larger than 12 square meters. This requires 250 euros per person per month. Once again, the “Report” was confronted with threats of legal action from those responsible during the research. In addition, during the interviews, accomplices of the landlords tried to intimidate tenants and prevent them from disclosing the grievances. Yilmaz Gülüm and Faris Rahoma report.
Emergency pediatric medicine
The public health system is under great strain due to the increasing need for care from socially disadvantaged families, warn paediatricians and general practitioners. Practices and outpatient clinics are full and there are often language barriers because many children have fled with their parents or are coming to Austria as part of family reunification. In Vienna – the population has risen sharply in recent years while the number of health insurance offices has fallen – they want to improve pediatric medical care with pediatric centers, but setting up such centers takes a long time and many problems can only be treated with a delay. Laura Franz and Helga Lazar report.
AMS boss Petra Draxl and asylum expert Lukas Gahleitner-Gertz discuss the problems with family reunification live in the studio.
EU foreigners who vote for Austrian parties
Vote for Austrian parties or would you rather vote for those from your home country? EU foreigners who live in Austria could vote for Austrian candidates in the EU elections. Aside from local elections, this is the only way for them to get involved in Austrian politics. But only a few make use of it. Jürgen Klatzer and Miriam Ressi researched why this is the case.
