Beautiful German town 'unrecognisable' after it accepted 1,200 migrants
• https://voiceofeurope.comIn the last three years, around 1,200 migrants were settled in the town's military barracks, which is a 26 per cent population increase.
Hartmut König, the mayor of the town with 4,600 inhabitants, tells German broadcaster NDR in an interview how admitting so many migrants has had a negative impact on the town.
"It's quite simply the behaviour. For example, in shops things are stolen. I experienced it myself: three refugees walking on the pavement, not making enough room for a woman with a pushchair and a child coming in their direction. They make no room; she has to move onto the street to get around them," the mayor says.
