German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser is concerned about the increasing number of migrants trying to reach Europe via the Balkan route and the Mediterranean Sea. The fact that more people are coming to Europe via these routes worries me, said the SPD politician. Border controls with Austria have been expanded and the federal police are increasingly controlling the Czech border as part of the veil hunt.
“Because it is clear that we all have a responsibility to stop illegal entry so that we can continue to help people who urgently need our support,” the minister told Bild am Sonntag. Alexander Dobrindt, leader of the regional CSU group, told the newspaper that he expects Faeser to present “a concrete concept to quickly interrupt transit routes and push for better protection of the external borders with the EU”.
Ukraine refugees as a growing challenge
Faeser also pointed to the challenges of people fleeing to Germany from Ukraine. “The longer the war lasts, the harder it is to house and care for so many refugees,” she said. According to information from your ministry, according to the newspaper, on September 17, exactly 992,517 war refugees from Ukraine had come to the Federal Republic.
This means that the municipalities in Germany are also subjected to a stress test. “The municipalities are already dealing with a situation as in 2015 and 2016. And there are many indications that many more people will flee to Germany in the winter,” says the general manager of the Association of Cities and Municipalities. Gerd Landsberg, who published the newspaper . “There are already many municipalities that have to accommodate people in gyms because all other capacities have been exhausted. If that becomes even more, we will be heading for a real bottleneck in accommodation in the winter,” Landsberg warned.
