What happens at the Berlin Summit: France against visa liberalisation, Germany pro

Up until three weeks ago, Germany had rejected liberalisation due to the lack of a consensus among parties that make up the big coalition there.

While the CDU and SPD were pro-regulation of visas, the interior minister from CSU and the Directorate for Europe under Chancellor Merkel's office were against.

An analysis released by the news says that Germany's biggest opposition was in the office of Chancellor Merkel and the Interior Ministry.

The German government was divided on the issue of visa liberalisation for Kosovo. While the Foreign Ministry was in favour of visa liberalisation, the Chancellor's office was sceptical along with the Ministry of Interior Affairs”, said in this analysis provided by the news.

However, this German stance has already changed completely because their opposition was directly related to elections held in some important Germany Handedé, which served as a barometer for national elections.

Germany, which is taught three weeks ago that it is the most pro-visa liberalisation state. Even Minister of Interior and Chancellor Merkel's office are no longer an obstacle.

France is the state that is now strongly rejecting visa liberalisation.

France's own president, Emmanuel Macron, in a speech Thursday, has said the Schengen Zone project is no longer functioning.

The issue of immigrants has been a hot topic in French politics, which has been widely exploited by far-right parties. Macron, too, has said this project has brought a spirit of feeling injustice to the French people, who have felt betrayed by other countries in the Schengen Zone.
