The number of illegal border crossings into Germany remains unabated on the German-Polish border.

There are still a large number of people apprehended, also through citizen notices, as a spokeswoman for the federal police said on Saturday when asked.

The intensive internal border search continues unabated.

Initially, the spokeswoman did not have exact figures on unauthorized entries within the last 24 hours.

Berlin - The situation is very dynamic.

Up to and including October 21, the Federal Police reportedly recorded 3751 unauthorized entries from Belarus to Germany for the current month only.

This year a total of 6162 unauthorized entries have already been determined.

The German-Polish border is the focus.

The Brandenburg border section has the main burden of illegal border crossings.

The Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko had declared in response to Western sanctions that he would no longer stop migrants on their way to the European Union.

The number of irregular border crossings at the EU's external borders with Belarus and at the German-Polish border has increased since then.

There are still no stationary border controls.

The federal police are on the road with vehicles in the entire border area and are carrying out intensified search measures.

These are closely coordinated with the Polish border guards, as the federal police also said.

The German-Polish border is an internal Schengen border that can be crossed at any time and at any point.

According to Brandenburg's Interior Minister Michael Stübgen (CDU), the federal government wants to accelerate the forwarding of refugees from Brandenburg with a registration center.

The federal police should take over corona tests, security checks and first aid, the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees should organize the distribution to other federal states.
