In the Bavarian town of Bad Griesbach, a conflict has erupted over the registration of Ukrainian refugees.
Mayor Jürgen Fundke has refused to register approximately 35 new arrivals, citing the town's capacity limits.
This decision has been met with opposition from the Passau district office, which has deemed the action illegal and issued an official directive for registration.
Despite potential disciplinary actions, Fundke remains defiant, arguing for a fairer distribution of refugees across municipalities.
The district office insists on compliance, emphasizing the legal and humanitarian obligations to provide shelter for those fleeing war.
The situation remains tense as the deadline for registration approaches.
