The Federal Police announced how many refugees from Belarus entered this year.

Poland continues to try to prevent border crossings from Belarus.

Munich / Berlin - The pictures left an impression: in late autumn 2021, thousands of migrants tried to cross the Polish-Belarusian border towards Germany.

Explosive: The Federal Republic and the European Union (EU) accuse Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko of smuggling refugees from the Middle East across the borders of Poland, Lithuania and Latvia into the EU.

Refugees via Belarus and Poland: The number fell significantly in December

Now, shortly after Christmas, the Federal Police published the latest figures on the refugees and asylum seekers who immigrated illegally through Belarus.

This number had decreased significantly by the end of 2021, according to the police authority, which is also responsible for border protection.

The federal police announced on Monday that a total of 11,126 entries with a connection to Belarus had been determined by Sunday.

After the peak of arrivals in October, there is now a clear downward trend.

In December, 470 such entries were still registered.

The motive is therefore retaliation for European sanctions that are directed against human rights violations.

According to the statistics of the Federal Police, Germany was particularly affected from midsummer after there were only a total of 26 unauthorized persons with a connection to Belarus who entered the German-Polish border from January to July.

In August there were already 474, in September 1903 and in October 5285. In November 2849 entries were registered.

According to the Federal Police, there are slight deviations from the total for this year due to the not yet updated data for the individual months.

Refugees via Belarus and Poland: Federal Police names the number of registered cases

Poland is trying to prevent border crossings from Belarus with a massive deployment of security forces and barriers.

If refugees continue to travel across the German-Polish border, the Federal Police cannot refuse them.

For this, Germany would have to explain to the EU Commission the reintroduction of border controls.

According to the Federal Police, a case-related check is carried out on arrival to determine “whether measures to terminate the stay can be initiated”.

However, if a request for protection is made by those affected, there is currently “no possibility”.
