Wismar/Groß Strömkendorf (dpa/mv) – After the fire in a refugee accommodation near Wismar, the state’s integration officer called for solidarity. It is particularly important “to help those affected and to assure them of our full support, both materially and psychologically,” said Jana Michael on Friday in Schwerin. The integration officer also thanked all those involved who would have prevented worse with their efforts.
In the fire on Wednesday evening, the former hotel in Groß Strömkendorf, which housed 14 Ukrainian refugees, was almost completely destroyed. Nobody got hurt. The police assume arson and suspect a political background. State security is investigating.
According to Michael, everything must be done to clarify the background. She also called for participation in a vigil on the Wismar market square on Friday. This should be a sign of solidarity for refugees from all countries.
