Germany’s new Prime Minister Friedrich Merz intends to declare a state of emergency over migration, Euroneus confirmed Thursday.
Officials said Merz wants to declare a national emergency in order to strengthen the strengthening of people trying to enter Germany illegally through a safe EU country.
Meltz and the Minister of Home Affairs, Alexander Dobrinz, want to summon Article 72 of the Convention on the Function of the European Union.
This means that border laws have an immediate effect on border protection and internal security.
However, Brussels must first decide this.
Ambassadors from neighboring countries have been explained by the Home Office, the paper said.
However, it is not immediately clear when a national emergency will begin.
Government sources told Euronows that the Home Office is already preparing extensively for the emergency.
On Wednesday, Dobrindt said he had instructed federal police to tighten border control with the aim of pulling back more irregular migrants, including those who intended to be in asylum.
“We have more control over our borders… and lead to more rejection,” Dobrinz said within a day of taking office.
But Dobrindt said vulnerable people, including children and pregnant women, will not be returned to the border.
These plans have attracted criticism from both Poland and Austria, and their legality has been questioned by some experts.
But Merz widely considers that declaring a state of emergency means he will protect himself from legal challenges.
