Interior Minister Gerhard Karner increasingly finds herself in a difficult situation when it comes to migration. A specially planned asylum crisis summit on Wednesday should solve the problem, but the countries continue to block. A solution would be possible soon, according to experts.
Tents have been a symbol of an asylum crisis for weeks. “It’s more like a distribution crisis,” says asylum law expert Lukas Gahleitner. The federal states block the admission of refugees, the Minister of the Interior has no right of access. The “asylum summit” took place on Wednesday evening.
Interior Minister Gerhard Karner met with the governors and refugee coordinators. Karner silent, talked about negotiations. There are many different approaches. The mayor of Vienna, Michael Ludwig, meanwhile, finds clear words for an unclear situation. Instead of negotiating, you must act.
Michael Ludwig of Vienna increased the pressure
“I expect that the agreement between the federal and state governments will be observed.” This means that the states will meet their quota. Currently, however, only Vienna (182%!) and Burgenland do this. There is resistance everywhere. “The states have a duty and it is the government’s job to get the situation under control,” Ludwig said.
The tent camps are emergency solutions in the truest sense of the word. The only possibility for the federal government to create housing on its land in the federal states. “I’d rather people be in tents than homeless,” said Andreas Achrainer of the Federal Care Agency (BBU).
Asylum lawyer Gahleitner is skeptical about a quick solution. “The problem is homemade, the situation is escalating. We have put proposals on the table. Divide 4000 people of the BBU in 7 states. That should be possible.”
