Doubts about plans for free and dobrindt on border controls

The designated Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt of the CSU promises "stronger" border controls in an interview. There will be "immediate decisions" on migration.

The designated ministers Dobrindt and Frei have confirmed their intention to tighten border controls. In Poland, no plans are considered, and the police unions believe that they cannot be implemented.

The designated Federal Minister for the Interior Dobrindt has announced rapid measures against illegal migration. There will be immediate decisions, said the CSU politician of the "Süddeutsche Zeitung". The Polish government warned against problems in border traffic by intensified controls.

The Polish Embassy warns that the current border controls are already a problem. Germany is expected to retain freedom of movement in the Schengen area.

Dobrindt is not in office so far, he already has plans for domestic politics: he wants to post even more policemen at Germany's external borders. Poland now refers to EU law.

Friedrich Merz announces the asylum "from the first day" of the chancellorship, his future interior minister Dobrindt plans immediate measures. Criticism for this comes from Poland. Germany's neighbour fears major problems for the European internal market and sends a warning to Berlin.
