Germany will extend its controversial border controls for another six months after turning 46,000 people away and seeing a drop in asylum applications
Germany will extend its controversial border controls for another six months after turning 46,000 people away and seeing a dramatic drop in asylum applications.
Since border checks within the Schengen Area – the free-movement zone in Europe – are only permitted in exceptional circumstances, Germany must formally notify the EU Commission of its plans.
While the measures were due to expire March 15, they will now be extended until at least September 2026 due to security concerns.
‘We are extending border controls at the borders with our neighboring countries,’ Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt told German newspaper Bild, which first reported the extension.
‘Border controls are an element of our reorganisation of migration policy in Germany.’
The measures mean tourists will continue to face security checks and possible delays at border crossings between Germany and its nine neighbouring countries.
…
The number of first-time asylum applications has sharply declined, with 7,649 people submitting an application to Germany in January, compared with 14,920 at the same time last year.
When do continuous extensions (over a 2-year period in this case) become a permanent state? Does this really sound like the globalists are still in control, such as puppet (v2.0) Merz? We don’t think so.
A reminder that Germany shares a border with NINE other European countries.

“An overhaul of migration policy has begun, but we haven’t reached the end of the road,” according to Germany’s Interior Ministry.

The spot-checks, originally introduced in September 2024, have already been extended twice and will now remain in force until at least mid-September 2026, promised ministry spokesman Leonard Kaminski:
Local authorities are still overwhelmed. … We have to do more to reach a situation that is sustainable for our country and our society.
Along with several other nations, including neighbors such as Poland and Austria, Germany has reintroduced these checks, citing threats to public order and security posed by uncontrolled migration.
Since taking office in May, the coalition led by the right-wing Chancellor Friedrich Merz has deployed more police to the borders in a strategic bid to increase the number of turn-backs at the frontier.
