In the end systematic work about #Schengen - same as I’ve done with #CrossBorderRail - would be useful here. To show not only how costly and discriminatory and disruptive this all is, but that *it doesn’t work*

Anyway. Welcome to Denmark ;-) And I absolutely agree with the above sentiment. It's rotten. By now I have an unfortunate amount of experience with the Danish border guards. They're very different than the Germans in that the Danes actively engage in dialogue: and often with really bad and (borderline-) racist arguments that they don't expect people to disagree with. @jon@gruene.social

@jon@gruene.social Thank you for sharing this! 11 years of useless "temporary" border control, and extension renewed each 6 month/each year without objections at all from the rest of EU (except Flensburg and Schleswig-Holstein, sending a complaint every time the control is to be extended). It costs a fortune, it doesn't work, it's totally inefficient but the politicians feel good about it and can show off to their electors. It's rotten and it's sad.

@jon@gruene.social oh those border controls are peak pointless, no clue if you travelled from saarbrücken to sarreguimes yet, but neither the tram nor the bridge have any bpol present, so you cam literally just cross the borser to and from france with what ever you can transport in the tram or on foot/bike further the forbach-saarbrücken section with the TER/Regio? bpol controls are them standing on the platform while smoking and vaguely looking at the people on the platform arriving peak fucking farce
