In response to increasing pressure from the opposition and recent security threats, German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has announced temporary border controls at all German land borders.

These measures, set to begin on September 16 and last for six months, aim to curb irregular migration and enhance internal security against threats like Islamist terrorism and cross-border crime.

The decision follows a series of violent incidents, including a knife attack in Solingen, which intensified the debate on migration policies.

The government has developed a new model for EU-compliant rejections at the borders, extending beyond current practices.

This move has been communicated to the EU Commission and discussed with the CDU/CSU opposition, with further talks planned to ensure effective implementation.
