Germany Reinforces Border Checks

Germany has reinstated border checks within the Schengen area to combat illegal immigration, following refugee attacks and the rise of the far-right. The checks target borders with several neighboring countries, including France, Austria, and Poland.

While some residents support the measure, critics argue it is politically driven and fails to address the root of the immigration issue. Neighboring countries have also expressed opposition, viewing the checks as ineffective and contradictory to the EU’s principle of free movement.
