As the OÖN found out from the office of Social Counselor Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer (VP), the around 100 asylum seekers who are currently still housed in tents will not end up on the street but will be taken over by the state. “The state takes over more than 100 people a week in existing and new quarters anyway,” it says. This time there will be more asylum seekers from Thalham. However, the Federal Care Agency (BBU) must make the allocation.
As reported, the mayor of St. Georgen im Attergau issued an eviction notice because the tents were not stormproof. The BBU then warned that the asylum seekers would end up homeless. There are simply no places, “otherwise we wouldn’t have set up tents,” said BBU boss Andreas Achrainer, who once again appealed to the federal states to create quarters. Despite some announcements, only 280 asylum seekers were taken on by the federal states last week. More than 5,000 are still in federal care.
“The threat is unacceptable”
Social Councilor Wolfgang Hattmanndorfer (VP) had turn responded with incomprehension to the BBU’s warning. “The federal agency has a statutory duty to provide care. I expect that this will be taken care of.” Building up the “threat of homelessness” was “unacceptable and undignified,” said Hattmannsdorfer in the direction of the federal government.
