German authorities reported that more than 1,500 people submitted new asylum applications in 2025, despite having been denied entry earlier.
Most of the applicants are from Syria and Afghanistan, seeking protection again after initial rejection.
The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) emphasized that each case is reviewed individually and must follow legal procedures.
In Berlin, political parties continue to debate stricter border controls while balancing humanitarian responsibilities.
