As a spokeswoman for the German Federal Police (Bundespolizei) in Munich announced earlier today, the number of refugees reaching the border into Germany in Bavaria has reduced significantly over this weekend. Yesterday, November 28, “only” 1.760 refugees crossed the border into the Free State of Bavaria. On Friday, November 27, 2.210 people came to Bavaria, on Wednesday of the same week some 6.000 came.

A cause for the smaller number of refugees might be the colder weather, but the police have refused to comment on possible reasons for the decreased number. There are no official numbers for today (November 29) yet.

In our opinion the number of refugees will increase again over the next few days, since some 3.000 reached Croatia on Saturday and most of them will continue their journey to Germany.
