What??
I'm sure Austria's concerns have nothing to do with Romania and Bulgaria having the largest Roma (gypsy) populations in Europe. That would be racist.
Believe me, I don't like that government at all but thats not even the slightest topic. Its just internal politics populism of being tough on migration....
It's already easy to get to Austria from there. Border control is minimal and only on the non-schengen borders. We have a free movement of people so most of our Roma people migrate freely since 2007 by just showing their ID. That would make it ever so easier for those who work abroad to send money home (a large percentage).
This is pure right wing populism on Austria's part.
Arguably their position isn't even really about migration. It's just domestic politics and populism.
Didn't they vote recently for Croatia?
