Locals protesting the migrant village had no effect, but new protests are planned.
As the immigration crisis worsens in Germany, many rural areas of the country, including smaller villages, are being transformed against the wishes of residents. The latest case comes from Uphal, a village of 500 residents in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, where a container village for up to 400 migrants is being constructed amid ongoing protests.
Although it is often the case that politicians from the left are pushing mass immigration in such areas, in the case of Uphal, a Christian Democratic Union (CDU) politician is responsible for bringing in up to 400 migrants, predominately from Islamic countries. There, the district administrator, Tino Schomann, has been vocal about the need for the container village. Last week, he appeared before the press to say that the migrant container village will be finished “if possible, by the end of September,” after sewage connections are completed and furniture added to the containers.
At that time, “the first asylum seekers should already move in,” said Schomann.
