Erding: Citizens' meeting on asylum accommodation and youth problems exciting!

In Erding, a new asylum center with 140 seats on the outskirts is planned, not far from the old Obi, which heats the minds of the citizens. During a citizens' meeting, Mayor Max Gotz said that the city had to react to the increasing number of refugees. He emphasized that Erding was already above the defined recording rate, while other communities do not even reach them approximately. Critical voices expressed that the new location is particularly controversial due to its proximity to residential areas and that more sensitivity is required when choosing a location.

The meeting also addressed the increasing problems with groups of young people on the green market that bothered passers -by. Thomas Schmid, chief of police from Erding, informed about the difficult situation in which citizens feel uncomfortable through mobbing cliques. Despite the police presence, there is little improvement, since the young people often have no respect for the law enforcement officers. There was also discussion about obvious solutions such as video surveillance, but according to Gotz, this fails due to data protection regulations. The discussion about the challenges of asylum policy and its effects on the citizens of Erding remains current and violent, such as www.merkur.de reported.
