Laschet in border control: Federal Police defends itself against criticism!

The former CDU chairman Armin Laschet recently made headlines when he was stopped on the German-Belgian border during a border control. This control took place near the Rhineland-Palatinate town of Winterspelt, while Laschet was on the way to Strasbourg. The federal police have regularly set up controls in this region since mid -September, which has already led to twelve unauthorized entry in the past two weeks.

Laschet loudly expressed criticism of the border controls. He argued that every police force used at the border would mean that fewer civil servants were available for safety at train stations and airports. Stefan Döhm, the spokesman for the federal police Trier. "So we don't have any less stand at the train station or at Hahn Airport," said Döhm. He emphasized the need for border controls to act against unauthorized migration and cross -border crime.

rationale behind the controls

The intensity of the controls is a direct reaction to the terrorist attack in Solingen, which caused the Federal Government to introduce extensive controls at the national borders. The aim of these measures is to reject migrants who travel irregularly and increase security in the country. According to Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser, these controls are initially planned for six months.

The federal police argue that the statistics of their measures underpin the need for controls. In the first phase of the controls, arrest warrants have already been carried out and the entry of non -approved persons were rejected. "The numbers agree with us - in the area of unauthorized migration, cross -border crime and arrest warrants," said Döhm in a statement.

The public discussion about this topic is expected to continue, especially in view of the security policy concerns that burden the population. The position of the federal police shows that the current measures are not only reacted, but are regarded as a proactive security strategy.
