Polen’s controls at the border to Germany are ongoing
From Monday, Poland wants to check the entry to Germany randomly on the border with Germany. Minibuses and cars with many inmates are particularly the focus of the border guards.
Temporary controls on the common border with Germany are currently ongoing in Poland. According to the border protection, a total of 52 transitions should be checked by random. The border guards will have an eye on buses, minibuses and cars with many inmates, but also vehicles with tinted windows.
The controls should start at midnight and initially last until August 5th. Travelers who want to cross the border must have a identity card or a passport. Poland also wants to check at his border with Lithuania in the coming weeks.
The center-left government in Warsaw ordered the controls in response to German border controls. Germany has been checking randomly on the border with Poland since October 2023 to stop irregular migration.
Federal Minister of the Interior Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) had more intensive border controls shortly after the new Federal Government started in May. At the same time, he ordered that asylum seekers can also be rejected at the border in the future. The rejections from Germany in particular are a stimulus topic in Poland.
