Arte: Germany imposes strict border controls – Can Schengen Survive?

As Germany has reintroduced temporary checks at all nine of its land borders, the move has been met with criticism from neighbouring countries but praise from the far right. Could this mark the beginning of the end for the Schengen area?

This programme is produced by the European platform ARTE and made available in 9 languages through a European media partnership named EMOVE Hub. The hub is coordinated by ARTE and includes El País (ES), Gazeta Wyborcza (PL), Internazionale (IT), Ir, (LV), Kathimerini (GR), Le Soir (BE) and Telex (HU). The partnership receives EU-funding following DG CNECT’s call for „European Media Hubs” within the framework of the EU’s Multimedia Actions.
