German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Tuesday defended Germany’s border checks. “We naturally want to preserve this Schengen area, but freedom of movement in the Schengen area will only work in the long term if it is not abused by those who promote irregular migration, in particular by smuggling migrants,” he said.
The interior ministers of Germany and Poland had discussed the situation during a lengthy phone call Monday evening, Merz said in Berlin.
“We are also talking to the Polish government about joint controls in the respective border hinterland,” the chancellor said.
In response to Polish media reports, Merz said he wanted to clarify that Berlin did not push back asylum-seekers who had already arrived. “Some people here are claiming that there is, so to speak, regular repatriation tourism from Germany to Poland … That is not the case,” he said.
The Polish checks would by no means be an exception in the European free travel area: As of July 1, 11 of the Schengen area’s 29 countries — including Austria, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands — had notified the European Commission of plans to reintroduce border controls, according to the executive’s record.
That list doesn’t yet include Belgium, which last month announced it’d roll out “entry controls” over the summer with a stated aim to halt illegal migration.
