Refugees Issue Denmark Brings Army to Border Germany

Denmark has deployed soldiers on the border with Germany, with the goal of strengthening police controls in this way in the vicinity of the German region of Schleseg-Holstein.

Such measures have been taken since January 2016, when hundreds of thousands of refugees flocked to northern Europe, especially Germany.

But, while the situation has cooled over time and the influx of foreigners was interrupted following the closure of the Balkan route, the Danish people not only do not ease their controls but send new soldiers to their border line.

At the beginning of the week was Brussels, which proposed an expansion of the current temporary controls on the bloc's internal borders.

Authorities in Denmark say additional troops will act in the background and will not participate directly in car control. Their main role is to help transport the suspects and exercise observation duties.

Dislocation will initially last three months. Border conflicts in Germany, Austria, Denmark and Norway are scheduled to end in November, with a two-year limit for the “countries. Schengen”

If the Commission's new plan is accepted by the governments of EU countries, these four countries could retain border controls for another year, if they can justify them on security issues.

Commissioner for Internal Affairs Dimitris Avramoopoulos said the dim threat of immigrants coming from Greece and the Eastern Balkans is no longer enough reason for border controls.
