Border controls: Greens: Economy and people suffer from border controls

With the new federal government, the German borders are more closely controlled, and the Greens criticise the impact on Rhineland-Palatinate.

More than 300 days after the cabinet took office, the dispersal law is still in effect, the pressure on the asylum chain is still high and asylum seekers are systematically causing inconvenience. And what does the cabinet do? They shout that they are facing the strictest asylum policy ever. Nothing changes by just shouting.

On the instructions of the new federal government, the police have been increasingly monitoring the borders since this week. Whether this action violates EU law is still unclear. The Greens assume a clear breach of law - and demand answers from Interior Minister Dobrindt.

The deputy Green Group chairman of Notz considers the current border controls to be contrary to European law – the Ministry of the Interior is supposed to answer 18 questions. CSU boss Söder believes in support in Europe.

The German government has tightened the controls at the German borders this week – to the displeasure of neighbouring EU countries. Now the Greens are asking for answers with a catalogue of questions.

Green Party parliamentary group leader Haßelmann again calls for clarity from the federal government regarding tightened border controls and the rejection of asylum seekers. It is unclear what now applies in Germany and Europe.
