The German Police Union (GdP) is advocating for increased federal police presence at railway stations and expanded powers to conduct checks due to rising concerns over safety and respect for law enforcement. GdP chief Andreas Rosskopf highlighted that conditions have become more dangerous, particularly at major city center train stations. This call comes after Chancellor Friedrich Merz's controversial comments linking migration policy failures to urban changes. Separately, around 400,000 poultry birds have been culled across over 30 farms in Germany due to avian influenza outbreaks, with the highest cull rates occurring in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Brandenburg states. The Friedrich Loeffler Institute (FLI) anticipates further increases in bird flu cases.
