In early May, a group of foreign travelers with about 20 motorhomes sought temporary parking in the canton of St. Gallen. They were turned away in Altstätten, and the site in Buchs was occupied. The canton has yet to establish any of the six required transit sites for travelers, despite the known issue and hundreds of child removals.
