According to police spokesman Stefan Loidl, the men – the detained people from India, Bangladesh and Pakistan – were eventually discovered in the Pyhra area. The location was an abandoned parking lot along the highway, the state police of Lower Austria confirmed on Wednesday on request. Asylum applications have been submitted.
As the Interior Ministry announced early this month, 21,000 people have applied for asylum in Austria in the past five months. That is more than twice as many compared to the same period in 2021.

A model after the example of Great Britain would be conceivable. This ensures that refugees are sent to Rwanda.
