The planned housing of hundreds of refugees around the railway station in Linz led to a heated discussion between BBU and city politicians. A call for criticism: the city feels ignored by the federal government. Other municipalities also criticize the practice of ‘driving over’. The “Krone” has asked around the affected local bosses.
By the end of the year, 300 refugees will be housed in the former Ibis hotel near Linz’s main train station, and up to 100 people will move into the neighboring abandoned ÖBB apprentice house. An old vocational school was opened in Braunau last week as accommodation for asylum seekers. Background to the new housing: In Vienna, the Federal Care Agency (BBU) recently had to close a home and start looking for a replacement. In Upper Austria they found what they were looking for.
