Even bad weather cannot stop illegal migration. In addition to 38 migrants in Nikitsch, other large-scale detentions were also reported in Deutschkreutz, Halbturn, Baumgarten, Andau and Nickelsdorf. The army and police were constantly present in Burgenland.
Work at the border continues uninterrupted for the police and army. The authorities in Vienna point to a decreasing influx of refugees. Compared to 2022, the number of attacks in the 41st calendar week from October 9 to 15 fell by 46 percent from 3,500 to 1,900, and in the 40th week the decrease was 55 percent.
Hotspots: Neusiedl and Oberpullendorf
But compared to 2021, the current numbers are much higher. Despite rain and low temperatures, the migration movements do not stop. On the contrary, large-scale seizures are increasing. The hotspot districts of Neusiedl and Oberpullendorf were hit hard during the national holiday. 26 refugees were reported from Andau, 23 and 15 from Halbturn. 34 immigrants stranded in Deutschkreutz.
On Wednesday the situation was similar: 17 arrests in Nickelsdorf, 18 in Halbturn, 23 in Andau, 18 in Baumgarten, 24 in Deutschkreutz and 37 in Nikitsch. Smaller groups were recorded continuously.
Tugboat in a box truck

Eleven toddlers and babies in vans
The Iraqi, 36, said his bosses had ordered him via mobile phone to drive through the border at full speed. When he had to open the back door of the Renault Master van, 35 Turkish Kurds were visible, including eleven small children and babies. They boarded the plane five hours earlier at the Serbian-Hungarian border.
