Austria's hardline interior minister Herbert Kickl said today he would push to change the EU's migration policy so it is no longer possible to make asylum requests on European soil.
"That would be a proposal," the minister of the far-right FPOE party told journalists in Vienna.
Any other solution, he argued, "would encourage traffickers to say: 'I take your money to bring you to the European Union because you are guaranteed the right to make a request for asylum, with a very, very weak probability of being sent back'."
