Lack of places for refugees in Prague: A temporary shelter will be created in Troja
“Firefighters have been instructed by the Austrian Minister today to build a tent town in Troy. But we already know that this solution will not be enough. Only 150 people are solving the problem. This must be solved by the government, then Prime Minister (Petr) Fiala. Asylum and migration policy is In this unprecedented situation, we consider the construction of a tent town to be the most extreme solution and we try to solve the situation by other more suitable means, “said Hofman.
Firefighters will start setting up emergency accommodation tents on Wednesday evening so that the town is ready by Thursday morning, Kavka told ČTK. They will then hand it over to the Refugee Facilities Administration, which should operate the town.

Prague no longer has free capacity to accommodate refugees. Mayor Zdeněk Hřib (Pirates) wrote on Wednesday morning that the creation of a tent town should have been a last resort and warned the government against it. Hřib also sent a letter to Prime Minister Fial, in which he called on the government to create a system for dividing refugees into regions, otherwise Prague is in danger of collapse and will have to close its refugee center in Vysočany due to congestion.
“This is not within the competence of the regions, but for the solution of the Czech government. We repeatedly call the state for help because we have full capacity and the Administration of Refugee Facilities gives us only tens of beds a day,” Hofman added.
Unsustainable situation
“The situation is unsustainable. We cannot afford to let the children sleep somewhere on the floor on the platform. It is dangerous, unethical, inhumane. At that moment, it does not matter whether these people are entitled to temporary protection in the Czech Republic or not,” he said today. in the afternoon Austrian journalists in the House.
Temporary accommodation will be provided by the Administration of Refugee Facilities with the capital. The Roma non-profit organization Romodrom will take part in this, and others will offer help. “We as a state will guarantee food, social and hygienic facilities, ie enough toilets, portable bathrooms and the like,” said the Deputy Prime Minister. According to him, it was not possible to produce a sufficient amount of free capacity at the regional level.

“It is not the case that refugee camps are starting to appear in the Czech Republic, this is not permanent accommodation. These are people who come to Prague and who are being checked for dual citizenship,” said the Austrian. because of the Roman refugees from Ukraine, they have dual citizenship and, as Hungarian citizens, are not entitled to help in the Czech Republic. “Still, we can’t let the ground sleep at the station,” he added.
The capital is now dealing mainly with problems with Roma refugees residing at the main station. According to civic initiatives, hundreds of people live in undignified conditions there. 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.
