Cranking Up the Security: Intensifying Border Controls by Federal Police in Saxony
Enhanced Border Patrol Activities by Saxony State Police - Saxon federal authorities broaden border checks
Hey, let's dive into the beefed-up border patrol situation going down between Saxony, the Czech Republic, and Poland! The Federal Police Directorate in Pirna is pumping up the action, thanks to a nod from the Federal Ministry of the Interior.
We got the scoop from a friendly spokesperson, who spilled the beans without dishing out specific numbers of reinforcements. But hey, when you need a secret squirrel, I'm your guy!
The new sheriff in town, Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt, has been shouting about stricter controls, including shipping back asylum seekers who've already applied in other EU nations. Pregnant women, kids, and other sensitive souls? They're safe, no worries there! For now, this doesn't apply, but who knows what might change, right?
Currently, everything's being handled with the existing crew. But if things get hairy, they're ready to call in backup, says Federal Police spokesperson Yvette Biesold to the German Press Agency. Sneaky-smooth move, setting up the controls so they don't trip up transit traffic too much.
Border controls have been in place on highways 17 and 4 in Saxony since October 2023, but now, things are getting a bit juicier. Control points are popping up at new spots, we're told.
