    You know times are weird when Germany is setting the pace for conservative reform. The European thought leader has suspended Schengen, the broad-based EU coalition contract that allows for borderless travel within 29 countries.

    More precisely, the "Schengen Area" is described below, from the European Commission website:

    "The border-free Schengen Area guarantees free movement to more than 425 million EU citizens, along with non-EU nationals living in the EU or visiting the EU as tourists, exchange students or for business purposes (anyone legally present in the EU). Free movement of persons enables every EU citizen to travel, work and live in an EU country without special formalities. Schengen underpins this freedom by enabling citizens to move around the Schengen Area without being subject to border checks. 

    Today, the Schengen Area encompasses most EU countries, except for Cyprus and Ireland. Bulgaria and Romania became the newest Member States to join the Schengen area as of 31 March 2024, any person crossing the internal air and sea borders will no longer be subject to checks. Nevertheless, a unanimous decision on the lifting of checks on persons at the internal land borders is still expected to be taken by the Council at a later date. Additionally, the non-EU States Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein also have joined the Schengen Area."

    What Does This Mean For Europe?

    Germany has set the sociopolitical pace for Europe since the rise of Angela Merkel. Merkel was elected to head the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party in 2000, and then rose to Chancellor in 2005, a position she held doggedly until 2021.

    The recent rise of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) has been gradual and then sudden, as the saying goes. A growing national intolerance for the migrant invasion suffered by all Western countries was tamped down by the likes of Merkel, Emmanuel Macron, and Jean-Claude Juncker.

    The dam holding back a tide of common sense seems finally to have burst. At least for the moment.

    A New Dawn For Germany? Ach Du Lieber, Not So Fast

    Talk of a more conservative Germany--and by extension, Europe--has been on the tongues of those who value Western cultural tradition and its proud history, and don't want to see it further despoiled. Importing the uncaring and low-intelligence droves to satisfy those with anti-Westphalian cravings is madness, surely Germany will come around, yes?

    Alas, Schengen isn't gone, just suspended. And not even indefinitely! Written carefully into the rules of the contract are temporal specificities. The suspension begins on Sept. 16th, and ends on March 15, 2025.

    From there, it remains to be seen if the madness of open borders (for migrants) is resumed.
