Germany extends border controls another six months

Germany will extend temporary border controls by a further six months, the interior ministry said Monday, calling the measures necessary in the absence of 'functional European migration policy'. Spot-checks introduced in September 2024 will now be in force until at least mid-September 2026, having already been twice extended, ministry spokesman Leonard Kaminski said. "Local authorities are still overwhelmed," he said. "We have to do more here so that we get to a situation that is sustainable for our country, for our society."
