German authorities, led by Interior Minister Nancy Faeser, have announced plans to impose strict controls on all land borders starting from September 16, 2024, for an initial period of six months. This measure aims to enhance national security to counter increasing threats from Islamic terrorist groups and attempt to curb the continuously rising irregular migration.
The decision covers all of Germany’s land borders, which extend for more than 3,700 kilometers with nine neighboring countries, including Austria, Poland, France, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic. This decision was made following growing security concerns, especially with the escalation of threats from extremist groups.
Reasons for the Decision:
- Countering Terrorism: Warnings from Islamic terrorist groups posing a threat to national security in Germany have increased.
- Reducing Illegal Immigration: The new measures target reducing the number of migrants entering the country illegally, especially through land migration routes.
Next Steps:
- All German land borders will be subjected to intensified inspection and monitoring operations.
- Germany has informed the European Commission of its decision to start these measures, which aim to improve internal security.
Reactions: These measures have not been welcomed by all neighboring countries; the Czech Republic and Austria have expressed concerns about the impact of these measures on cross-border traffic flow and their effect on trade.
This move comes at a time when Europe is experiencing security tensions and growing concerns about irregular migration and extremism, which has prompted Germany to take this firm action.
