From July 7, Poland will introduce temporary border controls in Germany and Lithuania. Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced this on Tuesday. In the beginning he gave no reasons for the measure.
Usually there are no intramural people on the internal boundaries in the Schengen area, which includes all three countries. However, the German federal government has already ordered all German borders to combat irregular migration.
Checks in the hinterland
Germany strives for common border hinterland checks with neighboring countries in the fight against irregular migration. People talk about it both with Poland and Luxembourg, said German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Tuesday in Berlin when he visits Luxembourg Prime Minister Luc Frieden. These joint checks must hold both the German and on the side of neighboring countries.
“We totally agree that we have to fight irregular migration and illegal border crossing,” said Merz. However, people want to keep the limitations on border traffic as low as possible. Merz confirmed that he had spoken with the Netherlands, Italy and Denmark about the further tightening of the EU migration rules. This group has now grown to 21 countries.
Germany rejects asylum seekers
Germany has considerably tightened its border controls since May and also rejects asylum seekers. This is legally controversial. With the controls of the Border Hinterland Border, it can be achieved that migrants do not even reach the border. Merz pointed out that Poland would also introduce his checks in Germany and Lithuania. “We have a common problem here that we want to solve together,” said Merz. “I want us to solve this problem together in Europe, with the emphasis on together and European.”
