Minister Nancy Faeser announced that Germany will extend temporary border controls to all of its land borders starting September 16, as part of measures to enhance internal security and tackle irregular migration. While these controls are essential, Faeser emphasized the need to minimize disruption for commuters and daily life in border regions, working closely with neighboring countries. The initiative aims to address public concerns following recent incidents involving asylum seekers, including a tragic knife attack in Solingen.
Faeser stated, 'We are strengthening our internal security through concrete action and we are continuing our tough stance against irregular migration.' This declaration reinforces the government's position on migration control amid rising public anxiety and political pressure, particularly after the success of far-right parties in recent elections. She also highlighted the importance of a collaborative approach with neighboring countries, ensuring that border controls do not unduly affect commuters or border community dynamics.
