There are also problems in schools, where due to the lack of places in the state, Ukrainian children may not be included among the Czech ones.
The government must create a system and begin to distribute Ukrainian refugees evenly to all regions. The capital is otherwise in danger of collapsing and will have to close its refugee center due to congestion. The mayor Zdeněk Hřib (Pirates) told ČTK today. He therefore sent a letter to Prime Minister Petr Fiala (ODS) in which the situation was resolved. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion at the end of February, the Prague Refugee Center in Vysočany has handled 84,219 refugees for the metropolis and Central Bohemia.
“At the meeting with the governors, data were presented today, which clearly show the overcapacity of the capital and its uneven burden compared to other regions. “Hřib told ČTK. According to him, the metropolis does not relinquish responsibility, because since the beginning of the war it has been doing its best for refugees.
According to the mayor of Prague, the capacity on the maps is approaching the critical red level, which means a complete disproportion of the number of refugees to the capacity of the infrastructure. According to him, the situation is not so serious in other regions, even though there are differences between individual regions.
The capital is now dealing mainly with problems with Roma refugees residing at the main station. Hundreds of people live there in undignified conditions. There are 70 beds in the hall of the Fanta building, which was provided by the Railway Administration, and up to 210 other people can sleep in the attached seat train. However, all capacities are often full. The municipality therefore asked the state Administration of Refugee Facilities for help, as the city does not have enough suitable accommodation capacity for them.
There are also problems in schools, where due to the lack of places in the state, Ukrainian children may not be included among the Czech ones. The mayor therefore calls for a change in the legislation that could result in so-called modular schools, which could solve the problem of lack of places.
