The new German government has planned to promote border control to curb the migration

The new internal minister said on Wednesday that the new government of Germany has planned to deploy more police along the border to curb illegal stay and has even removed some shelters trying to enter Europe’s largest economy. Internal Minister Alexander Dobrindt told reporters in Berlin that the police will be extended on the border in the coming days. He said that the weak people will still be allowed to enter, but they claim that Germany will remove some shelter seekers who were ready to do the previous government. “We’re not going to close the boundaries, but we are going to control the boundaries more strictly and this strong control of the boundaries will be rejected even in large numbers,” Dobrend said. “We will gradually increase this high number and strong control over boundaries,” he said. “We will ensure that, step by step, more police forces are deployed on boundaries and can also take these push-backs.” The country’s new Chancellor Frederick Merz vowed to tighten the country’s migration policy during his election campaign. A few weeks before the national election in February, the conservative leader said that he would prevent people from entering the country without appropriate papers and if he was elected Chancellor to pursue exile. The comments came after a knife attack in Aschfenberg by a rejected asylum, who left a man and a 2-year-old boy. Merz succeeded former Chancellor Olaf Sholaz, whose government collapsed six months ago. Merz was elected by MPs on Tuesday and officially nominated as Chancellor by the President of the country on the same day. Scolas, also, was under pressure to curb the migration as she was filling the shelters across the country for years. His government tried to accelerate refuge processes and talked about agreements for countries to withdraw unsuccessful asylum in exchange for more legal immigration opportunities for countries. In February, a few days before the election, the government of Sholaz also extended to six months, the border was investigated that it declined on all its fronts, as it tried to cut the number of migrants coming to the country. The government had said at the time that the increase in border control led to a decline of migrants trying to cross the boundaries of Germany. The European Union has a visa-free travel area known as Schengen that allows citizens of most member states to travel easily on borders for work and enjoyment. Switzerland also belongs to Schengen, although it is not a member of the European Union. According to the European Union, member states are allowed to restore boundary control temporarily in cases of a serious threat like internal security. But it also states that boundary control should be applied as the last measure in extraordinary conditions, and limited in time. “We want this Europe of open borders again possible, but the current situation is one of the open laxity,” Dobrid said. “It should be corrected and then we can return to a decrease in limit control very soon.” The opponents of Germany, immigrants, far-flung options for the German party, or AFD, also campaigned on the migration issue with a call for the exile of “illegal migrants”. Last week, Germany’s domestic intelligence service classified AFD, which finished second in the national elections in February, as a “right -wing extremist” organization – it is subject to more and comprehensive monitoring of its activities. The agency described the AFD as a threat to the country’s democratic order, saying that it “disregards human dignity” – especially it is called “moving agitation” against refugees and migrants. According to the European Union’s Border Control Agency Frontx, the irregular border number in the European Union fell considerably in 2024. In Germany, the number of people applying for asylum fell rapidly last year. The federal office for migration and refugees says that 250,945 people applied for asylum in 2024, below 2023 to 30.2 percent.
