Austria's Constitutional Service has recommended that the planned 'integration phase' should apply to all working-age individuals, not just immigrants. This controversial proposal would require native Austrians to complete German language and values courses before receiving full social benefits.
Integration Minister Claudia Plakolm immediately rejected the idea as 'absurd.' The proposal argues that integration requirements cannot discriminate based on protection status and must apply equally to everyone. During the integration phase, people would receive only basic allowances until completing required courses.
The implementation is planned for January 2027, though it faces strong political opposition and negative public reaction.
