The federal government is putting pressure on and wants to set up tents for accommodating refugees in Tyrol from Thursday. In Tyrol, this announcement causes a lack of understanding and annoyance. “Incomprehensible,” says Social Councilor Gabriele Fischer. The mayor of Absam is even considering filing a complaint.
As early as Thursday, tents are to be set up at the location of the Wiesenhof police training center in the municipality of Absam. Thomas Fussenegger from the Federal Support Agency (BBU) speaks to the APA of around ten tents. Fussenegger did not give any further details.Social LR Fischer: “Not the right approach”Tyrol’s Social Counselor Gabriele Fischer (Greens) is not very pleased with the federal government’s approach. This course is incomprehensible and not correct. Fischer reminds that the focus of the country continues to be the mobilization of “permanent accommodation”. One is currently in the process of organizing accommodation. “Accommodation in tents at a time when the cold season is approaching is not the right approach from the country’s point of view,” says Fischer. The mayor of Absam received no information. Apparently, the mayor of Absam, Manfred Schafferer (SPÖ), was also not informed. The local chief is even considering filing a complaint, because according to the Tyrolean building regulations, a permit for setting up a tent camp is required.
