According to reports, unvaccinated citizens in Austria could face prison time for failing to comply with the Covid-19 vaccine mandate currently in place.
Susanne Fürst of the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ), which voted against the amendment to an administrative law, warned that a year’s imprisonment could be introduced to punish the unvaccinated.
The amendment raises fines for failing to comply with the mandate from €726 (£617/$818) to €2,000 (£1,701/$2,255), whilst also increasing prison time for those who refuse to pay from four weeks up to a year.
Not only would Austrians who fail to comply with the vaccine mandate in February face fines of up to €7,200 (£6133), those who fail to pay would face a 12-month prison sentence.
The amendment also requires people who are jailed to pay for their own imprisonment.
The amendment states: “If detention is carried out by the courts, the associated costs shall be recovered by the courts from the obligated party in accordance with the provisions existing for the recovery of the costs of enforcing judicial penalties.”
Despite critics such as Fürst protesting that the amendment could be used to impose harsh punishments to further punish the unvaccinated, the measures were approved anyway.
Just as this was announced, then Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg stated that he would hit the unvaccinated with “penalties” for refusing to get vaccinated, while adding that they should “suffer.”
This is going to end well.
Sorry - and I’m supposed to worry about Russia over-running europe?
I don’t think so
Fake.
Typical of the amazing author "CAPTAINTARDFLY".
I can't tell who is drunker, the author or the poster.
Buncha drunk crack-addled boneheads, the lot.
I hope to see at least one governor or head of state pay the ultimate price.
Boot on face
Forever
Wow. Time for lampposts and ropes. What has happened to Australia?!
No fan of Putin here, but the Russians could march through Ukraine all the way to the English Channel and the tyranny would not be much worse than the COVID fascism being imposed on Western Europe. (I would feel sorry for Poland and Hungary, the two outposts of sanity on a mad continent.
Let’s see one year in jail or possible death or adverse health...
Europe learned nothing from a century of slaughter and war.
I would like it if you would elaborate a bit on why that you hold that it is fake.
Several steps are left out in composing the headline, so what is presented is a worst-case scenario from the article, but the upshot is that but if one doesn’t ante up $15,000 fine one could end up with up to a year in prison.
Is that fake?
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
― C. S. Lewis
Then what do they have to lose? Might as well fight it out.
Charming folks, those vax pushers.
HOA board members on steroids. Or maybe not.
This isn’t going to end well for these tyrannical politicians.
All’s well that ends well.
OK.
Several steps are left out in composing the headline
Well there you go.
And those that refuse to go to prison will be shot.
The article is about Austria—Adolph’s native country.
The Fourth Reich hits Austria right on schedule.
