Neulingen says no: Citizens decide against refugee accommodation!

Göbricher Gewerbegebiet, Neulingen, Deutschland - The citizens of Neulingen have decided: No refugee accommodation is being built in the Göbricher industrial area! In the first citizens' decision, 1,320 votes spoke out against the accommodation, while a total of 2,444 citizens took part in the vote. Especially in the districts of Bauschlott and Nussbaum, the support for the facility was rather low, which is very pleased with the citizens' initiative, which launched this decision. Timo Messer, one of the initiators, said: "We would have liked it more clearly", but remains optimistic that this will not be the last action.

The decision means that the municipality of Neulingen is now forced to take care of alternative accommodation for refugees. Mayor Michael Schmidt said that the focus is on renting and purchases of real estate, since the obligation to accommodate refugees is still. "We have no other location," said Schmidt. If the municipality does not meet its obligation, financial penalties of more than 990 euros per refugee are not accepted. Details on this decision can be found
