Reasons for the escape route: police officers demand border controls on Poland

A new wave of asylum is heading towards Germany: by the end of September, for the ninth year in a row, 100,000 migrants had applied for asylum for the first time in Germany (Welt am Sonntag).

One of the main reasons: the Belarusian ruler Lukanshenko sent migrants to his country and directed them to the border of the outer European Union, from where they came through Poland into the Federal Republic.

Now the president of the Federal Police Union, Heinz Tegert (48), sounds the alarm at Interior Minister Horst Seehofer (72, CSU): in a letter to Seehofer, he urged “the introduction of temporary border controls in Poland”!

Because: “The number of apprehensions has been increasing almost explosively for several months now.” The federal government can only prevent a “collapse” at borders, as of 2015, by introducing temporary border controls.

Currently, the “number of findings of unauthorized entries and smuggled people along the border with Poland” corresponds to the 2013 figures on the Austrian border. The situation then “reached its tragic climax” in 2015, when “the collapse of the security architecture at the border” resulted in the “uncontrolled entry of migrants into Germany”. It “should not be repeated again”.

Tegutz continued: “Our allies are also exposed to a significant health risk, as SARS COV-2 infection is still very high, especially in the countries of origin of migrants (Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Iran, Afghanistan, etc.) There are more in Only very rarely is it recorded by the authorities. “Sanitation rules, as is common in Germany and Europe, will certainly not be followed in the “smuggling process”.

The governments of Latvia, Lithuania and Poland are accusing Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko of systematically bringing refugees from troubled areas to the EU’s outer border. Lukashenko announced in late May that Minsk would no longer stop migrants from continuing to travel to the European Union – in response to stringent Western sanctions against his country. Since then, there has been an increase in reports of illegal border crossings on the EU’s external borders with Belarus and the German-Polish border.
