The idea of creating the Schengen Area was good and of great use to Europeans, who, however, will now have to watch the break-up of this system, according to Christian Makarian of the French weekly news magazine L’Express.
L’Express columnist Christian Makarian believes that even though the Schengen Area may have been of great use to many Europeans, the system is bound to collapse in the not-so-distant future.
His remarks come as 10 of the 26 Schengen member states, including Sweden, Belgium, Austria, Hungary and Macedonia, have already introduced temporary border controls within the Schengen free-travel zone amid the ongoing migration crisis in Europe.
All this has led to a so-called a domino effect, Makarian says, pointing to huge “human traffic jams” currently in place in Europe’s southern regions, where camps of Syrian refugees have taken root. The situation has left Greece particularly hard hit, according to Makarian.
