Minister: Refugee numbers in Thuringia "controllable"

According to the responsible minister, the increasing number of refugees in Thuringia is manageable.

"To be clear, the situation is controllable, but we also have to act to keep it that way," said Migration Minister Dirk Adams (Greens) on Thursday in Erfurt.

From July to the end of September, 3319 asylum applications were made, almost twice as many as in the first half of the year.

Erfurt - In September alone, 533 applications were added.

The initial reception facility in Suhl currently accommodates 900 people.

There are currently 1200 places available so that those arriving could continue to be admitted, he said.

“The development of the international political situation cannot, however, be foreseen.” Examine expansion and alternative options in order to have further options for action.

In addition, refugees would be distributed to the municipalities.
