Poland has NO temporary suspension of . So any control at the border cannot be systematic. But - based on what the driver said here - every bus is controlled. Chipping away at the EU project, piece by piece… https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/policies/schengen-borders-and-visa/schengen-area/temporary-reintroduction-border-control_en

I bet Magda Kopczynska flying back to Brussels from Tallinn didn’t face this shit

The problem is Poland has such a damned authoritarian ID law that even were the border controller to claim it’s just an ID check, not a border control, I’ve got no way other than an ID card to prove my identity. It’s not like Germany where there are multiple ways to prove it.

So when is a border control not a border control?

Lithuanian border police checks every passenger. I ask him why he doesn’t check trucks and cars. Dude ignores it and moves on

This is obviously systematic

A reminder: Lithuania and Poland are in . Neither has a Schengen suspension. This is clearly and obviously illegal.

They have the cheek to hang an EU flag

Oh here we go. There’s a dude with darker skin. Polish guard takes an extra look at him.

I ask the Polish border guard “Is Poland in ?” Yes he says. “So why do you control?” He ignores me and moves on.

@jon@gruene.social avatar

Also both Lithuanian and Polish controls here were completely unprofessional. The guys were just looking at passports. No scanning of numbers. If you were an actual criminal you’d get through this no problem. What a lousy show of placebo security.

Border controls within - basically systematic racism and discrimination against poor people, in the name of “security”

Makes me furious

And sorry for my naivety. But I believe in the rule of law. Without it we’re sunk.

I’m so effing tired

What states and the EU ought to do - facilitate cross border travel in a green way - they’re abjectly failing to do (see today’s SNCF (state owned railway) saga)

What they’re instead doing is racist passenger profiling and eroding (Bundespolizei controlling anyone with dark skin at Offenburg)

“Kon­trollen an deut­scher Grenze sind rechts­widrig”

Interessanter Fall. Nicht zuletzt, weil der betreffende Wissenschaftler die gleiche Frage (Maßnahme um eine Identitätskontrolle oder eine Grenzkontrolle?) verwendet, die ich seit Jahren benutze.

Kontrollen im Flugverkehr mit Bulgarien und Rumänien weggefallen

Der Schengen-Raum hat zwei neue Mitglieder: Bulgarien und Rumänien. Bei der Einreise entfallen damit die regulären Grenzkontrollen. Vorerst gilt das aber nur an Flughäfen und Häfen. Wer mit Auto oder Zug reist, wird weiter kontrolliert.

Hallo, all ye people. 👋😃

What would be the best* option/s for a traveler hopping around Schengen countries -- etc? Like decent speeds, minimum 5Mbps, ±2GB usage per day, for a week or two? Ideally, just a SIM card and using a as a hotspot.

Not cafe . Hotel Wi-Fi is already a given, but one really can't rely on them to always have good internet.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, !

Europa 🇪🇺 rückt heute enger zusammen. Die Binnengrenzkontrollen an den Luft- & Seegrenzen zu 🇧🇬 & 🇷🇴 fallen dank bald weg. Die Landgrenzen sollten rasch folgen; dafür setzen wir uns weiter ein.
