Brandenburg's Interior Minister Michael Stübgen (CDU) has appealed to the European Commission and the Foreign Ministers to take action in view of the influx of refugees from Belarus via Poland and Lithuania to Germany.
"We can only cure the symptoms in Eisenhüttenstadt, the cause is in Minsk," said Stübgen on Wednesday during a visit to the country's initial reception facility in Eisenhüttenstadt (Oder-Spree).
Eisenhüttenstadt - In August, almost 400 people from Belarus crossed the Brandenburg-Polish border.
In September there were six times as many.
The originator of the situation is in Minsk, said Stübgen.
There it doesn't matter what dangers people from Iraq, Iran and Syria are exposed to.
"That is mean and inhuman," he said.
