“We all want to return to the European normality of open borders. To respond to the concerns here in Poland: there were no changes to the controls at the Polish-German border last year. They take place within the framework of applicable European law. There is very close cooperation on the border with Poland, which we want to continue,” wrote the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany, Viktor Elbling, on the X platform. The entry received an avalanche of responses and caused a storm on the Internet. Internet users do not hide their indignation.
The decision to reinstate temporary controls at all German land borders from September 16 puts the migration issue back on the EU agenda, just a few months after an agreement on the matter was reached.

““There are no changes in the controls.”
The Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany, Viktor Elbling, spoke on the issue.
We all want to return to the European normality of open borders. To respond to the concerns here in Poland: there are no changes to the controls introduced last year at the Polish-German border. They take place within the framework of applicable European law. There is very close cooperation at the border with Poland, which we want to continue

““I am waiting for Donald Tusk’s response.”
The entry received an avalanche of responses and caused a storm on the Internet. Internet users are not hiding their outrage.
Then why are you sending us immigrants in police cars?
Let the Germans start taking back the garbage they brought with them, the immigrants your police left behind, and start paying reparations from World War II, and not such empty talk.
What kind of cooperation if you take illegal immigrants in police cars and such without any agreement with the Polish authorities? This is a gross violation of international law. The spirit of the Third Reich and its audacity somehow do not want to leave you. I am waiting for the response from @donaldtusk
Mr. Ambassador. Our common problem (the whole EU) is illegal immigrants. We must fight this problem ABSOLUTELY. NO? We will all go down. Immigrants? OK, but on our LEGAL terms
I propose to introduce checks on the Polish side and then watch as lines of cars paralyze traffic and the lives of residents of Frankfurt (Oder) on Friday evening
Poland should close its border to German citizens in the same way. Make them wait in lines. And the Deutsche Polizei will not be able to hire engineers
Well, Your Excellency is wrong. Such a permanent border blockade is contrary to EU law. Suspension of visa-free travel is possible for short transitional periods, as was the case during EURO. Now there is a blatant violation of the law
By breaking EU law you have invited millions of illegal immigrants, drastically reducing the level of security in the EU. Poland should introduce checks at the border with Germany until you tackle the huge crime rate among immigrants
