National Council Meetings Scheduled for the Week After Easter

During the National Council sessions in the week after Easter, the legal basis for the temporary halt of family reunification could be passed. Already firmly on the agenda are a current hour organized by the FPÖ, a European hour by the SPÖ on Thursday, and a question hour with Minister of the Chancellery Claudia Plakolm (ÖVP) on Friday.

Draft Law on Halting Family Reunification Must Pass Interior Committee Before National Council Sessions

The draft law of the government for the temporary halt of family reunification will only be on the agenda if the Interior Committee gives the green light beforehand. The meeting of the Interior Committee is scheduled for Tuesday after Easter (April 22). During the review period, which ended yesterday, there was some sharp criticism of the draft law. The agenda for the plenary days on April 24 and 25 also includes various resolutions and debates on several reports, including the 2023 Right-Wing Extremism Report and a report on directives from the Ministry of Justice between 2017 and 2023. A new rule in the National Council's house rules was also decided in the presidential meeting. Accordingly, visitors to the parliament can, from May 1, access the security check at the entrance without prior registration on the parliament's website, provided they present an official ID and have it scanned.
