Hadrien Bect and François Beaudonnet receive Marie-Christine Valleta journalist specializing in Europe, and Clara Bauer-Babefjournalist for the Euractiv website, a site specializing in European affairs.

It is one of the most divisive issues for Europe. And today, the Union European seems more divided than ever on illegal immigration. Like a bolt from the blue in the European sky, Germany announced that it was re-establishing controls at its land borders from September 16. The cause: the rise of the extreme right.

These controls will be re-established for six months with France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Poland, the Czech Republic, Switzerland and Austria. Donald Tusk, the Polish Prime Minister, speaks ofan unacceptable measure” and in all the other neighbouring countries, there is also a lot of gnashing of teeth. Complete overview with those informed about Europe from 15 September 2024.
