Better check on that.
There was an article in the New York Times last week about how many E.U. countries have actually gone back to border checks. Most recently, Germany and Poland.

There was an article in the New York Times last week about how many E.U. countries have actually gone back to border checks. Most recently, Germany and Poland.
But border checks in the EU are a bit more relaxed. Sometimes they just wave you through - other times you just show your government id (which in many EU countries you are required to carry at all times) and they maybe check the car boot.
The border is still very much open.
Border checks are pretty rare still
Yeah, I'm not sure how to directly fight it yet (besides voting as I've always done) but I'm avoiding border queues on a weekly basis now. It's a shame, but for now you can still drive right through on a dozen other border points, just not the highway
France apparently also had this around their Olympics or soccer world cup or something. It's not unique and so far it has always been a fad, usually to please nationalist voters for a while
And it doesn't negate the broader point
