State officials demand action as emergency accommodation fills and ‘solidarity is vanishing’
“We’ve never had a concentration like this, not even at the height of the refugee crisis 2015-2016,” said Mr Michael Stübken, interior minister of Brandenburg, where at least 50 people daily are picked up after crossing the 270km border from Poland, with many more undetected. “I think the time has come to trigger the emergency Schengen measures.”
“However, the only sustainable solutions will be European solutions,” she told German radio on Tuesday, “with greater checks on outer EU borders.” The sprawling state of Lower Saxony has warned that it has five times as many refugees living there as in 2015, with one state official warning: “We cannot expect society to deal with this in the long run.”
Wasting no time to act was Mr Friedrich Merz, leader of the opposition centre-right Christian Democratic Union . At the weekend he made Chancellor Scholz a poisoned political offer: “Let’s do a [migration] deal together and if you don’t manage it with the Greens, throw them out and we will do it, because we have to solve this problem.”
