New German government plans to boost border controls to curb migration

Federal Minister of the Interior Dobrindt has decided to reject migrants at borders a few hours after taking office, even in asylum applications. He has withdrawn an order from 2015, which was opposed to this, said the CSU politician in Berlin.

Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt also intends to have asylum seekers turned back at the land borders in the future. At the same time, he announced an increase in the number of federal police officers at the borders.

New German government plans to boost border controls to curb migration

Germany’s new government says it will start increasing border controls to clamp down on migration.Germany’s new Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said that more police would be sent to the country’s external borders to reduce the number of “illegal migrants.”

The rejection of asylum seekers is legally controversial. The new Federal Government wants to implement this in consultation with the neighbouring countries. However, an oral instruction from 2015 is opposed to this. Now, Interior Minister Dobrindt clears this obstacle out of the way.

The new German government's promises focus on security and increasing defense spending, the economy and infrastructure investments, and limiting migration.

The new federal government is starting its work and wants to show itself to be tough on the subject of migration. However, more staff is not planned for this. Chancellor Friedrich Merz announces a "new start" of the relationship with France.
