De Maizere Visits Refugee Facilities

DEGGENDORF, GERMANY - AUGUST 11: German Minister of the Interior Thomas de Maizere (CDU, C) visits an initial registration center of the German federal police (Bundespolizei) on August 11, 2015 in Deggendorf, Germany. The centre processes refugees who have arrived in Germany by crossing the nearby Austrian border. Bavaria is currently struggling to cope with the daily arrival of hundreds of refugees, mostly from Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq and most of whom arrive via the Balkans through Austria. Germany is expecting over 400,000 refugees and migrants to arrive this year and apply for asylum in a phenomenon that is straining both the budgets and the social cohesion of local communities.
