This is why you fight these cowards.
The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.
Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Bulgaria and Romania belong fully to the Schengen area.
Removing internal controls at land borders is the last hurdle.
I welcome the positive outcome of informal discussions in Budapest today.
The Council’s formal decision is next.
Let 2025 see Schengen become stronger.
