Immigrant crossing at the German border

It was reported that Germany will increase controls at the borders of Poland and the Czech Republic as part of the fight against irregular migration and human trafficking.

The German Interior Ministry statement said Interior Minister Nancy Faeser ordered “flexible controls” to be carried out on routes used for smuggling at the borders of Poland and the Czech Republic. The statement stated that additional checks were necessary to inspect the border region due to the increase in smuggling crimes in these border areas.

The statement indicates that, in addition to the previously intensified “covert checks” in border areas, additional checks will be carried out at points mainly used by smugglers, “with the aim of preventing smuggling activities by detecting them earlier.” The expression was used.

The Minister of the Interior, Faeser, in his statement after his participation in the Bundestag’s Internal Affairs Committee, stated that he wants to put an end to the brutal trade of smugglers that endangers people’s lives. Faeser explained that they want to prevent smugglers from using other points with flexible and mobile checkpoints whose location will constantly change and noted that they are in close contact with Poland and the Czech Republic to ensure that the measures are effective.

Emphasizing that establishing a common asylum system in Europe will be an important step to significantly reduce irregular migration, Faeser said: “Everyone must be strictly controlled and registered at the external borders of the European Union.” saying. (AA)
