We have voted in favour of the report in order to secure a solution to the problem for the citizens of Kaliningrad. The real problem, however, is the Schengen cooperation’s closure of the external borders. Kaliningrad is simply one specific example of the consequences that Fortress Europe has for poor people outside the EU. In establishing Fortress Europe, we are bringing a new Iron Curtain down through Europe. The closure of the borders between Russia and Poland and Lithuania is just as unnatural to the citizens of these countries as the Berlin Wall was to Berliners.
