According to the “Sueddeutsche Zeitung”, the chairman of the GdP, Andreas Rosskopf, assessed the effect of border controls as “low” and the number of detected people smugglers “relatively low”.

Tusk: Germany's decision is to suspend Schengen
The introduction of controls at Germany's external borders stunned the international community. Polish the prime minister described it as “unacceptable” and announced that he would ask Germany's neighbors to “urgent consultations“.
– This is de facto suspension of Schengen on a large scale. Such actions are unacceptable from the Polish point of view. I have no doubt that it is the internal political situation in Germany that is causing these steps to become more stringent, not our policy towards illegal migration on our borders. Today, we need full support from Germany and the entire European Union – he said Donald Tusk.
