After the federal government set up tents in recent days to receive asylum seekers and refugees in both Tyrol and Vorarlberg, it remains to be seen whether these will eventually be populated. Saturday afternoon they weren’t there yet…
The Federal Agency for Care and Support Services (BBU) spoke to the APA of a “last resort”, but there are now “good signals” from the states. “That makes us optimistic,” said BBU spokesman Thomas Fussenegger when asked about political statements in Tyrol and Vorarlberg to find or create other districts.
Tents were set up this week on federal land in Absam near Innsbruck and in Feldkirch. But these remained empty for the time being. Calls on affected states continue to hire more people “so it doesn’t happen” to house people in tents, Fussenegger said. Everything is currently open. But little is happening yet. Vorarlberg only took in about 85 additional people this week. “This is too little. More needs to be done,” said the BBU spokesperson.
criticism of the union
Both the political leaders in Tyrol and Vorarlberg had criticized the actions of the federal government. They want to continue to prevent asylum seekers from being accommodated in the tents and have promised sufficient alternative accommodations. In Tyrol, where the new black-and-red government will be in office from Tuesday, the future Deputy Governor Georg Dornauer (SPÖ) announced on Friday that there would be no tents in the state with him.
Dornauer will be responsible for the refugee agendas in the future. Future governor Anton Mattle (ÖVP) agreed with the SPÖ leader. Both announced that they would arrange decent housing. The actions of the federal government also met with great annoyance in the two affected municipalities in Tyrol and Vorarlberg. Both there and there, there were doubts as to whether the procedure was legal
