Bavarian Mayor Halts Registration of Ukrainian Refugees Amid Capacity Strain

Bad Griesbach's mayor faces legal challenges for refusing to register new arrivals, citing unfair distribution of refugees.

Mayor Jürgen Fundke of Bad Griesbach instructed city officials to stop registering Ukrainian refugees, claiming the town's capacity is maxed out.
The town has already accommodated around 100 Ukrainians in a former hotel and expanded an asylum facility to house 108 people.
Fundke argues that all 38 municipalities in the district should equally share the responsibility of hosting refugees.
The Passau district office insists that Bad Griesbach is legally required to register the refugees and may intervene if the mayor does not comply.
Local schools and kindergartens are reportedly full, contributing to the mayor's decision to halt further registrations.
