Reacted far too late?

Squirrel scandal: now the authorities are being targeted

After the removal of the Wagenburg, the municipality reacted immediately with barriers. Until then, however, no action was taken against the illegal campers for a long time . . .(Bild: Krone KREATIV/P. Huber; z.V.g.)

After the withdrawal of more than 100 vehicles that had "besieged" a gopher habitat near Gerasdorf near Vienna, the case is far from over - neither in public discussions nor in the files: This is because the Ministry of the Interior has initiated a detailed investigation into the authorities' actions. The "Krone" knows more.

"He simply hung up during the conversation": The organization Tierschutz Austria has had a long and intensive weekend due to the "gopher siege" - which apparently should also include a rather unfortunate conversation with a police officer from Gerasdorf station. "I wanted to explain to the officer the explosive nature of a necessary intervention when the connection was suddenly severed," explains spokeswoman Michaela Lehner.
