Kurz has proposed overhauling the EU treaty spelling out how the bloc works to introduce measures such as penalties for member states that do not register migrants properly or increase their debt, apparently targeting countries such as Italy and Greece. Austria has clashed with both on those issues before.
Asked by Austrian broadcaster ORF about his proposals on migrants and debt, he said: “We are talking here about countries that gladly take our money and are fully prepared to cash in.” Austria was also among the more vocal critics in the EU of Italy’s budget plans this year. Kurz’s conservatives govern in coalition with the far right, with whom they have made reducing national debt a priority.
