Germany will bring in controls on all its land borders to deal with the ‘continuing burden’ of migration and ‘Islamist terrorism’, the country’s interior minister has told the EU.
Nancy Faeser of the struggling Social Democrat party (SPD) has finally accepted that Germany has no choice but to enforce proper border controls if it has any hope of coping with the staggering amount of unauthorised entries.
According to reports from BILD and Insider, she has informed the EU Commission of the decision, which is fuelled by deep-rooted panic over Germany’s current migrant situation and internal security threats.
The government cited the ‘continuing high overall burden on Germany’ as well as the need to protect the country from ‘Islamist terrorism and cross-border crime’ as the main reasons for the heightened border controls.
This action comes shortly after an ’emergency’ migration meeting between the conservative CDU/CSU parliamentary group and regional representatives, where discussions focused on tightening immigration policies.
