❗️Austria wants to prosecute Ukrainians en masse and is demanding they return thousands of euros — refugees are facing the need to repay social assistance (Grundversorgung) because they did not declare their Ukrainian pensions when applying for aid.
The court upheld the strict decision and allowed the authorities to demand their money back. In Lower Austria the preliminary demands for repayment amount to at least €445 000. In one case a Ukrainian pensioner was ordered to return €11 569 (!).
At the same time, the far-right Freedom Party of Austria also supported this approach. One of its members said: “This is taxpayers’ money. We will get back every euro — there will be no exceptions.”
