Austrian FM Urges EU Countries to Restrict Social Benefits for Migrants
Vienna - Arab Today
EU countries should restrict social benefits for migrants from other member states to prevent the abuse of welfare systems, Austrian Foreign and Integration Minister Sebastian Kurz said Sunday.
The proposal from Kurz came on the heels of several recently-drafted policies to make Austria less attractive to migrants, including a plan to reduce child benefits for foreign EU workers whose children live in their home countries.Kurz told Austrian national public broadcaster ORF that EU citizens should only be able to claim welfare in another EU country after having lived there for five years.
Under Kurz's proposal, unemployment benefits would be excluded."The freedom to work anywhere should not be confused with the freedom to choose the best welfare system" within the European Union, Kurz said. "If the EU does not implement such restrictions, citizens are at risk of feeling overwhelmed by migrants, just as they were with refugees," he warned. "I want to rescue the freedom of movement for persons, not endanger it," he said.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
