There was a lot of excitement about the shelter tents in Absam, Tyrol (Innsbruck-Land district). Especially after recently 30 refugees had to spend a night in the controversial neighborhoods in winter temperatures. After the dispute between the municipality and the federal government, the tents on the grounds of the police school have since disappeared. Now there are two container villages elsewhere.
Tyrol is lagging behind when it comes to meeting federal/state requirements regarding refugee reception – recently it was even at the bottom. Of course, the newly responsible SPÖ State Councilor Georg Dornauer, who announced a “round table” in this case, knows this too. “Yes, the quota is currently not being met in Tyrol. But I will do everything I can to improve the value,” says Dornauer.
From the container village to the post office
How do you do that? Two container villages will be built in Tyrol next week. One in the fortified town of Kufstein and one in the vicinity of Innsbruck. The old post office in Hall is also reported to be targeted.
Alluding to the federal government, Dornauer says: Tyrol cannot be put under pressure every day.
Tents in Absam were dismantled
The tents that the Federal Agency for Care and Support Services (BBU) had set up in Absam were taken down again on Friday. As is known, the municipality had taken a decision against the reception of refugees in the tents. Mayor Manfred Schafferer had already talked about a ‘black building’ immediately after the tent camp was built.
Tyrol currently only achieves 63 percent of the quota agreed with the federal government for the reception of refugees. The state is hosting more than 2,800 fewer refugees than it should. The quota is currently only met in Burgenland and clearly in Vienna.
