“We are strengthening our internal security through concrete action, and we are continuing our tough stance against irregular migration,” Faeser said in a news conference on Monday. “It is important for us to act in close partnership with our neighbors and to minimize the impact on commuters and everyday life in border regions,” she said. Controls on the borders with France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark would begin on September 16, Faeser said, initially lasting for six months. The AfD earlier this month became the first far-right party since World War Two to win a state election, in Thuringia, after campaigning heavily on the issue of migration. https://www.activistpost.com/2024/09/germany-closes-borders-to-irregular-immigration.html
