The “flexible and security-based” checks will be carried out over the next six months at the Central European country’s borders with France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark.
Germany starts from this Monday, September 16to temporarily store all your country borders to the irregular migrationdespite rejection by neighbouring countries and amid accusations that the measure would deal a serious blow to Europe’s Schengen area of free movement.
The checks “flexible and based on security requirements” will be carried out at the borders of the Central European country France, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark during the next six monthswhich will be added to those already existing in the border areas with Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic and Poland.
The German Chancellor, the Social Democrat Olaf Scholzdefended the checks on Saturday at an event in the state of Brandenburg, where the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is leading the polls ahead of regional elections next Sunday.
“The irregular migration “It is not what we want,” he said, noting that “it was not right” that of the 300,000 people who arrived in Germany last year, only a portion were entitled to protection.
“Germany distrust some neighbors. “Unfortunately, we cannot fully trust that all of our neighbors are doing things the way they should,” he said.
Scholz’s coalition is under pressure from the rise of the far right in the east of the country and a Christian Democratic opposition that is pushing for the blanket rejection of asylum seekers at Germany’s borders, something the government considers to be in conflict with European law.
