German borders with neighboring countries will remain open even if the crown pandemic worsens. The chancellor has promised.
“Yes, the borders will remain open,” Maas told Tagesspiegel am Sonntag before the start of the second lockdown. “In the spring we had enough experience on how we organize the controls if they are necessary,” emphasized Maas. “I’m sure we will not see traffic jams at the border that are tens of kilometers long.”
The situation in Germany was tense during the crisis, but it was better than in other countries. “What I saw in the way of reactions from outside was more of a mixture of admiration and a desire to do something similar. Anyone who compares our situation with that of other countries comes to the conclusion that Germany is not in that bad position, ”Maas said.
However, the new crown restrictions that will apply from Monday are necessary. “We are facing a harsh winter,” Maas said.
