Austria plans to step up deportations of migrants
Austria and neighbouring Germany threw open their borders in September to hundreds of thousands of people who poured into Europe, many of them fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.
Despite an initial outpouring of sympathy for the migrants, public concern about the influx has fuelled a rise in support for the far right in Austria, and opposition to the coalition government of Social Democrats and conservatives has grown.
