Germany: “Refugees“ refuse moving into gymnasium – demand flats

October 11, 2015

From this German news site: http://tinyurl.com/pgfrtg9

Chemnitz / district Markersdorf – On Friday the city wanted to accommodate
60 asylum seekers in the gymnasium at Dittersdorfer Street. 100 protesters
wanted to avoid that, but that was not necessary. The “refugees“ refused to
move into the building.

The newspaper reports: Police, protesters and helpers stood puzzled in the
street. The “refugees“ were afraid to stay in Markersdorf for fear of
assaults. But that was not the only reason. The Syrian woman Mai (20) said
it clearly: “This isn’t comfortable enough. This is just a gymnasium!“

The asylum seekers, foremost families with children came from the initial
registration facility in Adalbert-Stifter-Street and should be brought to
accommodations run by the city. The flats are all crowded, thus there is a
temporary solution in Markersdorf.

For the “refugees“ from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan this isn’t good enough.
Interpreter Attar Nasser (48): “ The people are stubborn ,they absolutely
want flats or a home.“

The atmosphere among the “refugees“ turned more and more aggressive. Some
said loud, they wanted to leave Germany immediately and demanded a bus
towards Austria. “Rather back to Syria than staying here“, they said.

At the moment there is no such bus. Detective Sergeant Rico Lenk (36) was
stunned: “A confused situation. They should be willing to compromise.“

But the asylum seeker are not. They are playing for time and expect the city
to capitulate. Police are waiting, too – for now. One police officer:
“Tonight we won’t let them stay on the parking lot. Then we have to do
something.“

For 6.00 p.m. there was a town meeting planned at the Bonhoeffer Church
opposite the parking lot about the accommodation in Markersdorf. In
addition, the city prepares another accommodation for “refugees“ in this
district – the gymnasium of the high school in Arno-Schreiter Street.

Last update from Friday 9.50 p.m.:

About 60 “refugees“ still wait in front of the gymnasium. If they want to
spend the night in the open or will move into the gymnasium, remains
unclear. Half-Syrian lawyer Peter von Wolffersdorff (52), who got to know
about the refugees’ protest via MOPO24 (the newspaper), rushed to
Markersdorf to negotiate. The lawyer will accommodate a family with two kids
at his home. Mayor Miko Runkel gave his OK for that.
