Minister Faeser deems isolated attackers a potential occurrence during the European Championships.
Nancy Faeser, the Federal Interior Minister, emphasizes the importance of security during the European Football Championship in Germany. Speaking to Deutschlandfunk's "The Week," she mentioned that over 22,000 federal police officers and officials would be involved daily.
After a sharp increase in violent incidents, including knife attacks, Faeser acknowledged the threat of potential lone attackers. Although it's a possibility for the EM, she urged everyone to enjoy the tournament.
In an interview with Deutschlandfunk's "The Week," Nancy Faeser, the Federal Interior Minister, spoke about the substantial efforts being made to ensure a secure European Football Championship. Her primary focus is to guarantee everyone's safety during the event.
Over 22,000 federal police officers and officials will be present for the 2024 European Football Championship, a large number expected to maintain order and security.
Joachim Herrmann, the Bavaria Interior Minister, believes there's no reason to worry about any immediate threats during the tournament. Authorities are in frequent communication with other levels of government, sharing information and maintaining a close relationship with security forces.
During the 2024 European Football Championship, flight restrictions will be put in place around the stadiums. Anyone flying a drone within these zones is violating the law, except for police or rescue services. These rules are critical for restricting potential risks to players, spectators, and overall tournament security, according to the German Air Navigation Services. Anyone caught flying a drone without proper authorization could face up to ten years in prison.
In response to the stringent security presence at the football stadiums, passenger flights may also be subject to extra regulations. These restrictions will be determined based on each game's threat level determined by security forces. Drone bans may be enforced upon player's discretion to maintain security.
