Wow.  WTF? 

Vienna is a beautiful city and what have the Austrians done in the last half century to merit a terror attack?  Did someone try to buy the Lipizzaner Stallions and was rejected?

I think they have mostly followed EU migration policy.  At least until recently when a conservative Austrian government attempted to impose tighter migration controls.  Not sure if their bosses in the EU allowed much tighter controls.  If I recall the EU threatens member states with various punishments if the states don't accept a certain number of migrants etc.  It must be very frustrating for leaders who have to make choices between the life and welfare of their countrymen and EU rules with EU awards / punishments. 

I wonder how much EU migration policy contributed to Brexit and how it may, in the future, contribute to other exits.

I'm sure it contributed a great deal.

Sweden, with the most liberal "refugee" policy, is now reaping what it sowed. Crime has soared including murders and migrant gang warfare. The last figure I saw is that 58% of crime there is now committed by migrants.

Introduce mass immigration with a "conservative" alien culture without any acclimatisation or integration to the native Austrian one, which in many ways has a very different value set. What could possibly go wrong? ::)
