The Federal Ministry of the Interior has ordered massive border controls at Germany’s external borders. The measures are to last for six months.
Berlin – Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) has ordered temporary border controls at all German external borders. The new measure will initially last for six months from September 16, government sources said on Monday (September 9). The reason for the decision is to protect internal security from Islamist terrorism and cross-border crime, as well as to limit irregular migration.
The federal government is thus reacting to a migration meeting with the Union faction and state representatives last week. After this, a “model for effective rejections that comply with European law” was developed, it continued. The measures described in it are intended to go beyond the rejections currently taking place. A confidential meeting with representatives from the Union parties on the topic is also scheduled for Tuesday (September 10).
More on this shortly. (nhi/dpa)
