An asylum dispute has broken out in Gröbenzell in Bavaria.
A refugee brings his family to Germany - but the district does not want to accommodate them.
In Bavaria, an asylum conflict is smoldering within a district.
Five new refugees are to be accepted in the community of Gröbenzell.
The Fürstenfeldbruck district is not ready to accept this.
Gröbenzell
- An
asylum conflict is
smoldering between the district and the community of Gröbenzell
.
As part of the
family reunification
, five
people
are expected to
arrive in Gröbenzell who the
district is
not ready to
accommodate
.
Gröbenzell's
mayor
and UBV district councilor Martin Schäfer addressed the issue in the district council and asked District Administrator Thomas Karmasin for a solution.
The latter, however, assured that he would
not accommodate
the
family.
Asylum conflict in Groebenzell: what to do with the refugee family?
How did this situation come about?
When asked, Martin Schäfer explains that an
asylum seeker
with a permanent
right
to
stay
in Gröbenzell
lives in a home in the district.
Actually, he should move out because he is
recognized
.
Because of the difficult situation on the
housing market
, the district decided a long time ago
to let
so-called
false
occupants live in its accommodations.
Groebenzell: Asylum seekers bring their wives and four children - the district is responsible
The
asylum seeker
in Groebenzell is now bringing up his
wife and four children
, which he is
entitled
to under federal legislation
.
Only: where should the six people live then?
Because it is unclear who is legally responsible for the
accommodation
.
Mayor Schäfer is convinced that the
municipality is
not responsible, but the
district is
.
The
community is
obliged
to look after the
homeless
.
The question, however, if anyone is homeless in a place where he has his previous
life center
had?
Or is he homeless in a place where he just arrived?
Asylum conflict in the Fürstenfeldbruck district: Mayor appeals to district administrator
In the district council, Schäfer reported that there were enough
free places
.
He recently made
two houses available to
the district to accommodate
asylum seekers
.
He appealed to Karmasin: "Please go inside."
However, the district administrator does not intend to do this, at least not in the interests of Schäfer, if his position remains from the meeting.
Karmasin does not
understand
that the
state
should help just because someone is traveling from A to B.
The newcomers are neither
homeless
nor
refugees.
District administrator from Fürstenfeldbruck remains tough: family in Gröbenzell only travelers, no refugees
They are simply
travelers
.
He had always warned about the
problem
of
family reunification
and pushed for regulations.
In the general frenzy, however, that was lost at the time.
Without a
legal basis
, he couldn't spend any money, Karmasin said.
“We're not taking them in.” He was only
prepared to intervene if there was a
risk of frostbite
.
As Martin Schäfer explained to the Fürstenfeldbrucker Tagblatt the next day, he understood the arguments of both sides.
However, the question now has to be clarified - a solution will be found.
For
emergency
he would a
hotel room
rented, but what
money
costs.
Be sure: "I will
not
leave the
family outside
."
Housing migrants is no longer the big issue it was before.
But the situation in the background is still precarious.
In the meantime, the Corona crisis has pushed the issue of asylum into the background.
But it is neither forgotten nor overdone - as a conversation with District Administrator Thomas Karmasin shows.
