Should there be an onslaught of refugees from Ukraine, the border management system installed in Spielfeld in 2016 could be up and running in just a few hours. The Styrian police are armed.
They are the memorial of the refugee waves of 2015 and 2016: the large tents in Spielfeld, which never went into full operation, but were never dismantled either. Austria shouldn’t be so surprised and overwhelmed again when thousands of people stand in front of our borders. The Ukraine war isn’t there yet, but in Spielfeld they would be prepared: “Border management could be ramped up within a few hours”. , says police spokesman Fritz Grundnig. People can receive first aid here and spend up to 24 hours. No rush from Slovenia expected Streams of refugees would hardly come from the south via Slovenia, but primarily from the east via Hungary. The Styrian police are already helping their Burgenland colleagues and registering some of the asylum seekers apprehended there in Spielfeld.
