“Austria’s hypocrisy knows no bounds. On the one hand, it opposes the admission of Romania and Bulgaria to Schengen. On the other hand, the situation in the country is serious,” writes the authoritative Romanian media Newsweek.ro.
Without 300,000 migrants in the coming years, the country will simply not be able to function, the colleagues reported, citing a speech by the president of the Vienna Chamber of Commerce, who accused his country’s government of populism.

Austria needs 300,000 migrants
The president of the Chamber of Commerce, Harald Marer, calls on the Austrian government to take more measures to combat the shortage of skilled labor.
“For our country to continue to function as we are used to, we need 50,000 to 70,000 red-white-red cards,” says Marer.
If the government wants it, by 2027 at least 15,000 people from third countries will have to obtain a work permit each year.
He also presented the figures: “If I know that I have 200,000 vacant jobs and that I will need another 300,000 jobs in the next 15 years due to the aging of society, then I cannot ignore that,” Marrer criticized the cabinet’s decisions. concerning migration.
According to the article published in exxpressthe Austrian expert gives the example of Germany, which has already brought migrants along the route so often cited and blamed for all the troubles from Austria.
“Germany tripled overnight the contingent of people brought to the country from the Western Balkans,” said the president of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce.
“We must also invite these people to become part of our labor market. At the same time, we must strive to attract those who want to come to Austria with their families to work and live here. This is precisely what the Austrian government does not is doing today for one single reason: populism. People are afraid of migrants, but without them the Austrian economy will collapse,” Marer is categorical.
Romania is knocking behind closed doors because Austria firmly rejects the accession of Romania and Bulgaria to Schengen. The Bulgarians announced that Vienna maintains its position and its veto against the two neighboring countries, writes Newsweek.
