-> Spain as an migration helper - From Africa to Germany
For most of the refugees, there is no legal way to get to Europe. One of the main escape routes leads across southwest Spain. The migrants who venture here on the dangerous crossing over the sea, come in the majority from West Africa.
To apply for asylum in Spain, as they should according to the Dublin regulation, but hardly anyone wants. The goal of her dreams is Germany.
Frontal21 has accompanied refugees on their route and documented how the Spanish Red Cross, supported by the Government of Spain, helps migrants to continue their journey to the French border. From there, the refugees continue on their way northwards alone and then cross the border near Aachen or Kehl to Germany.
Domestic politicians and security authorities are warning against illegal migration from Africa and calling for more controls and better networking in Europe - especially with regard to the exchange of data and fingerprints.

A response from the Federal Government to a request by AfD politician Axel Gehrke, the WELT is available, now provides information.

-> More renovations, more costs - Did Berlin buy 6000 asbestos apartments?
Has the urban Gewobag bought the cat in a poke for 920 million euros?
A month ago, the housing company paid almost one billion euros to the foreign investor ADO. Around 6000 former social housing units in Spandau and Reinickendorf went back to the city.
Now the Gewobag may even incur even more costs. Residents of an object on the Zabel-Krüger dam had already reported to the BZ of asbestos in their apartments a month ago. Green politician Andreas Otto (57, Green) had asked a request. "Which and how many of the approximately 6,000 apartments are asbestos-burdened?", He wanted to know from building Senator Katrin Lompscher (57, left).
According to her answer, one expects that asbestos is partially installed in the apartments. But do not assume that everyone is affected. Exact numbers are not yet known.
