Kosma Złotowski, a member of the European Parliament from Poland, accused German authorities of violating the Schengen agreement after introducing border controls in the wake of the Solingen stabbing.
While international treaties allow restrictions on the legitimate exercise of this right, the measures taken must be proportionate.
Złotowski asked the European Commission about the economic consequences of Berlin’s restrictions.
Germany’s decision to introduce border controls (…) undermines the guaranteed rights of individuals and economic freedom. (…) Is this not a violation of the principles of freedom of movement enshrined in the rules of the Schengen area and EU citizenship?
Polish MEP Grzegorz Braun also condemned the actions of the German authorities. He shared a post by the editor of the Najwyższy CZAS! Tomasz Sommer on X. The photo shows a long traffic jam on the border between Germany and Poland.
This is what the liquidation of Schengen looks like.
