European Commission
@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu  ·  activity timestamp last month

What lets you travel freely across 29 different European countries?

It’s Schengen, of course! So, you’re free to live your best European Summer!

Schengen is one of the world’s largest zones of free movement. It has reshaped how over 450 million Europeans live, work, and travel.

It’s a symbol of freedom, collaboration, and opportunity, turning the promise of Europe into an everyday reality!

Wherever you are in Europe, we hope you’re having a great summer.

@EUCommission That the post showing the mockery of this at <https://chaos.social/@xyla@shitpost.trade/115032271105267918> gets more interaction than the original post should be a nudge to start doing something about countries that are undermining this great achievement.

@EUCommission
I am sorry, but this used to be true, it isn't any more. It would be great if we could still travel freely, but border controls are used again nearly everywhere.
I hate this fearful, right-wing fascism-nearing politics spreading and poisoning Europe as an idea.

@EUCommission So why do you let it be ruined by exceptions? E.g. those by Germany.

There are LITERALLY BORDER CONTROLS NEAR THE SCHENGEN BORDER!

Your post is a disgrace. Apply/fix the Schengen treaty, *then* brag about it.

@EUCommission Schengen is awesome indeed! When it is respected by Member States. Which hasn't been the case for quite some time, unfortunately. The @EUCommission should start the infringement procedure against Member States that do not respect the Schengen borders code.

But Schengen is now dead with all the silly and illegal border controls that are popping up everywhere.
Are you finally going to enforce it and stop that silly populist nonsense?

@EUCommission Question: Why was there a German Federal Police checkpoint on the A60 a few hundred meters from the Belgian border last Friday? Are you aware of that or should I send a formal treaty violation complaint so that you can investigate?

@EUCommission It is so sad to read your great page about Schengen and then remember how we are destroying this wonderful idea because of immigration fearmongering of right-wing parties. The EU must put an end to these terrible borders in the Schengen area.
