Police union calls border controls disproportionate






The intensive controls at the borders are a feat for the federal police. And the result rather clear. It cannot go on like this, says the GdP union.

Two months after the beginning of the tightened border controls and rejection of asylum seekers, the police union (GdP) criticizes the effort as increasingly disproportionate. “The number of rejections from asylum and protection seekers is actually very low, but the effort for the federal police, on the other hand, is huge,” said the GdP chairwoman for the federal police and customs, Andreas Roßkopf, the “Augsburger Allgemeine”.

The trade unionist complained that the number of 285 rejections is now 2.8 million overtime with the federal police. “The motivation and health of the employees are enormous,” he warned, and demanded that the intensity of border controls reduce the intensity of the border controls as soon as possible. “Otherwise, the federal police will come to a point where it can no longer compensate for the burden of personnel.”

Federal Minister of the Interior Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) had more intensive border controls shortly after the new federal government started in early May. At the same time, he ordered that asylum seekers can also be rejected at the border from May 8th.

According to the federal police, 7,960 unauthorized entry on German borders have been registered by the end of June and 6,193 people have been rejected or pushed back directly. Among them were 285 people who had expressed an asylum request. In response to the German approach, Poland has been checking travelers on the border with Germany since Monday.

Warning before long traffic jams during the vacation time

Roßkopf admitted that the number of asylum applications had dropped since the federal police began rejections. “But we mainly assume that the controls will be avoided and the smugglers use new ways,” said the trade unionist. “We simply don’t manage to monitor every corner of the border.”

The GdP had already raised the alarm in May and declared that the tightened controls and rejections at the border were not long to persevere. The Federal Ministry of the Interior had made it clear that they would be returned soon again.
