In an interview with the Neue Vorarlberger Tageszeitung on September 2, 2018, Reinhard Eugen Bösch made a proposal in view of the European refugee crisis that refugees should be intercepted in North African countries bordering the Mediterranean before they could start crossing the Mediterranean. Referring to the instability of Libya , he said “And if that doesn't work, then, in my opinion, it is easy to do with a wide variety of military and police forces. So to take possession of a space on the part of the European Union, to secure it, to set up supply facilities for these people there and then to bring these people back to their home countries. ”This was taken by several media and political opponents as a proposal for military occupation of foreign territory accordingly heavily criticized.
