The illegal tent camps in Innsbruck-Arzl continue to worry the authorities: as announced to the “Krone”, the police and the Mobile Surveillance Group (MÜG) appeared in the improvised camps. Now the deportation is imminent, and for the time being it is happening on a voluntary basis.
Especially in Innsbruck-Arzl, people live in improvised tent camps. This cannot be accepted as a permanent situation. Keywords: camping law, hygiene and safety.
On Thursday around 9:30 p.m., the Mobile Monitoring Group (MÜG) visited the warehouse on Haller Strasse near the Grenobler Bridge and the one near the Siemens site (Mühlau-Arzl industrial area).
Encountered men from Eastern Europe
Only at the latter location did the officers also find ‘residents’. “These are three men from the Eastern European EU area,” says Thomas Koland (MÜG).
Police were on the scene again in the early hours of Friday. “We have given those affected until the middle of next week to leave,” Koland explains.
Avoid sudden removal of belongings
If necessary, daily checks will take place in the near future. Above all, to first make people aware of the wild camping ban. An unannounced eviction that would take away the meager belongings of those affected must be avoided.
Communication with the men was partly possible. “They said they were looking for work. There is an emergency shelter nearby on Schusterbergweg, but they don’t want to go there,” says Koland.
Responsibility varies depending on the property
The legal situation regarding the tents under the high bridge on Haller Straße is somewhat different. It is owned by the state and therefore its responsibility.
The MÜG now informs its colleagues at Landhausplatz that the bureaucratic wheels must start turning again. No people were found in Haller Strasse during the inspection operation.
It is unclear whether the tents have been abandoned. At least there was laundry hanging to dry on Friday.
