Stricter border controls were ordered after taking office by German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt.
The German police will not be able to carry out the recently introduced intensified border controls or return from the asylum seekers for a long time. Andreas Rosskopf said this on Monday on Monday, pointing out the overload of police officers, TASR writes, according to the DPA report.
In an interview for the Funke media group, Roskopf said that strengthened border measures can only be managed by the fact that the service schedule or suspended training and the like were modified.
“The police are able to keep these intensive checks for only a few weeks,” he said, adding that more than 1,000 members of the Code of Order have been deployed in the border areas. At the same time, however, he added that GDP supports the government’s efforts to reduce illegal migration through such controls.
German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt recently ordered shortly after his start to office – stricter border controls and also allowed the authorities to return migrants straight from the border even if they apply for asylum. The number of “turned” migrants on the border thus has then increased by almost half of the number.
