Border closures during COVID briefly reduced support for immigrants and the EUThe sudden closure of internal European borders during the COVID-19 crisis had not only practical consequences, but also changed how people thought about immigration and Europe. Recent research from the University of Amsterdam and international partners shows that these measures temporarily undermined trust in the EU and increased hostility toward immigrants—especially among people living near the borders.

‘The German border controls are primarily gesture politics’Last Monday, Germany introduced passport controls at all national borders. How new is that measure, and what kind of effect do border controls have on the political attitudes of citizens? PhD candidate Lisa Herbig, who is conducting research into German border closures, provides context to the current situation.
