Another country beefs up border measures amid illegal migration row

Germany
  • Poland will implement temporary border controls along its frontiers with Germany and Lithuania, starting 7 July, to curb illegal migration.
  • The move comes amid escalating domestic tensions over migration, with nationalist opposition parties criticising the Polish government's handling of migrants returned from Germany.
  • Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that the reintroduction of controls is necessary to reduce uncontrolled migrant flows across the Polish-German border.
  • Poland joins a growing number of European Union nations reinstating checks, including Germany, which extended its own temporary border controls in February.
  • Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz indicated a shared problem with Poland regarding migration, emphasising the need to preserve the Schengen open border scheme from abuse by smugglers.
