Germany proposes sending EU border agency Frontex to Poland-Belarus border

German interior minister Nancy Faeser has proposed deploying the European Union border agency Frontex to Poland-Belarus border amid allegations that Belarus and Russia are using illegal migration as a tool to pressure the bloc in response to EU sanctions.

Poland is “making an important contribution to increasing security and reducing irregular migration to Europe here on the external border of the European Union,” Faeser said during her visit to Poland on October 29.

During a visit near the Polish-Belarusian border, the Minister noted that the 27-nation bloc’s asylum system should also enhance the protection of its external borders. Referring to Poland, she said that she assumes that the neighbouring country abides by the rules.
