"After Germany, Poland introduced controls at its border. The decision is beneficial for a free Europe“ – Reinhard Mueller writes in "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung".
"Poland besides introduces border controls. Where's the ghost from Schengen? Those who ask specified questions or start to cry don't realize what is required for the free movement of people and another European fundamental freedoms. Freedom without control in the European Union is possible and makes sense only if the external borders of the EU are effectively protected,” says the FAZ.
Controls on the Polish-German border. Media writes about difficulties
The intent of the checks introduced by Germany, together with the return of borderers, is to remind, including neighbours, about these common foundations – writes the commentator. In his opinion, there is presently no reason to act like Europe is about to fall apart. ‘The nonsubjective is not to restrict freedom of travel, but to restrict freedom of travel. Combating illegal migration“ Mueller stressed.
By the way, it may come to delays that hit tourists And people surviving in 1 country and working in another country. This is not fresh due to the fact that akin restrictions are introduced at large global sporting events.
The argument that no perfect controls exist shall not lead to a situation where certain border crossing points are deprived of any control. "When everyone wakes up, Schengen spirit will be able to dominate Europe again without hindrance," writes the commentator "FAZ".
Border checks. The German media is talking about “a dumber course”
According to “Sueddeutsche Zeitung”, “Polish border controls are a stupid defiance”. "However, the decision taken in Warsaw was preceded Stupid German theater. Both governments, alternatively of looking for solutions, let nationalists put force on them“ – said Viktoria Grossmann.
"Stupid opposition to the same stupid German theatre" - stressed the commentator. Both governments sacrificed freedom Schengen travel, due to the fact that "they are under force from the far right and right-wing nationalists".
Grossmann recalled that Prime Minister Tusk and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz are members of the European People's organization and prosecute the same objective: They want to reduce the influx of refugeesAnd the most likely thing is to reduce their number to zero. The commentator suspects Tusk is just pretending to be angry at Merz. “Tusk has rather different problems, related to interior policy,” Grossmann writes and explains that a civilian defender was established in Poland patrolling on his own German border.
"Fearing at national opponents and constantly facing next polls, both governments led European thought of the Schengen area to the brink of collapse“ It was pointed out. According to SZ, far-sighted sustainable solutions are needed, including joint external border controls.
‘It is doubtful whether Tusk and Merz depends on legal solutions. Tusk suspends the right to asylum on the border with Belarus, Merz, despite court sentences, orders continuation of deportation at the Polish border. Escalating the situation at interior borders, both Heads of Government want to probably Increase force on the EU In order to find fresh solutions that fit their policies, we read in "SZ".
German media is writing about Donald Tusk's decision. ‘Full contradictions’
“Die Welt” considers that the Polish position on migration is It's full of contradictions. Commentator Philipp Fritz writes that Poland has criticised Germany before for "no realism" in the approach to refugees.
High social benefits were magnet for non-EU migrants, which besides had consequences for Poland – stressed. "Tusk sees a key subject in migration for Europe's future. Mass immigration – according to the head of the Polish government – threatens European civilization" – was added.
"The government in Warsaw cannot, due to its interior situation, without a public reaction to the agenda readmission of migrants across their western border” says Fritz. The Law and Justice Agency is constantly attacking the Tusk Government, accusing it of being “potential” towards Germany.
Commentator “Die Welt” pointed out the actions of “self-proclaimed patriots” controlling people close the Polish-German border. "They have public support, which explains the passiveness of uniformed services towards them," he added.
As indicated, “in the introduction of border controls, Tusk is trying to solve this problem”. Volunteers shortly have halt playing any part. This is what the government in Warsaw hopes for – we read in “Die Welt”.
