Provincial council takes action
Asylum seeker now relocated after “cash complaint”
It was a "Krone" report that made big waves. An asylum seeker housed in Lower Austria called in his lawyer because he was no longer able to buy "everyday goods" online with his payment card. FPÖ regional leader Udo Landbauer reacted with fierce criticism. Now the refugee has been transferred.
As reported, a legal dispute has developed in the "payment card pilot country" concerning the cash supply of an asylum seeker. Partly because he could no longer buy "everyday goods" via the payment card on online platforms, the asylum seeker - as reported - called in his lawyer.
"Unlawful restriction"?
Lawyer Thomas Trentinaglia sees the payment card as an "unlawful restriction of basic services" and intends to "take full legal action" if the case arises. Meanwhile, the asylum seeker was moved from Traisen in the district of Lilienfeld to Mitterndorf in the district of Tulln on Monday.
This was confirmed to the "Krone" by the office of Christoph Luisser, the state councillor responsible for asylum. "This means we are cutting off the asylum seeker's cash. We don't want economic migrants here who are after cash. We want to make Lower Austria as unattractive as possible as a destination for asylum seekers," Luisser clarifies. According to Luisser, until the benefits-in-kind card is rolled out across the entire province in November, there will only be "the option of a benefits-in-kind card for self-catering or full-catering accommodation".
