Fällanden asylum machine: Cantonal Councilor Kühn is embarrassed by the choice of the Federal Courtroom

Jörg Küng, who’s, amongst different issues, a cantonal councilor, president of town councils of Zurich and mayor of Gossau, is embarrassed by the choice of the Federal Courtroom.

In an interview with the Tages-Anzeiger, he says that it’s clear that the municipalities are obliged by the Asylum Care Ordinance to accommodate asylum seekers. So there’s a materials limitation that can not be denied. Maybe the courts didn’t pay sufficient consideration to this concern. Ultimately, the communities wouldn’t give out these loans “only for enjoyable”, however moderately in order that they will fulfill the duties assigned to them. You haven’t any alternative as to what number of refugees have to be accommodated.

Küng additionally doesn’t settle for the court docket’s argument that there are different lodging choices in relation to Fällanden corresponding to civil protection amenities. After all, various lodging choices should be explored and their exclusion clearly justified. Fällander’s ruling now forces civil protection techniques for use as options. Nonetheless, these are sometimes options that may solely be used for a brief time frame. As a result of there simply is not sufficient room to sleep, Küng continues. Asylum seekers also needs to be capable to keep exterior. Civil protection techniques, which are sometimes situated beneath faculties, are usually not a everlasting possibility.

Communities are reaching their limits

Voting procedures corresponding to these required for giant sums are additionally time consuming. The municipalities wouldn’t be capable to meet the present asylum fee of 1.6 p.c in a well timed method. It’s at present attainable to search out methods to do that with the safety director Mario Fehr and the cantonal social welfare workplace. However it’s tough to create the required capability for this. The communities are already at their peak.

If voters reject mortgage purposes and there aren’t any different choices, the municipalities wouldn’t be capable to accommodate folks, Küng stated. The federal authorities and the canton then needed to create the required foundations for this.

Küng sees two choices on this regard: Both you concern a particular regulation above that allows you to construct asylum homes as a linked model. Or the federal and cantonal authorities take over the funding.
