Starting Monday, Poland will inspect travelers arriving from Lithuania and Germany, a setback for the Schengen agreement seen as a success for European integration. The Polish government is bowing to pressure from the far-right, which links immigration with criminality. The move mirrors similar trends in Germany, where controls were introduced in 2022. Although the Schengen agreement has revolutionized mobility in Europe, member states are gradually reintroducing controls, undermining the principles of free movement.
