Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Given that both countries are in the EU, how on earth does he expect to control the border?
EU countries are not automatically part of the Schengen agreement. Also, you can be part of Schengen without being in the EU.
This image shows which is which. Purple is Schengen + EU, blue is non-EU Schengen, yellow is EU but not Schengen.
Travelling from Romania to Hungary, for example, can be done with just an ID card, you don't need a passport, but there are still border guards and ID checks on anyone crossing that border.
Yes but they're talking about the border between Slovakia and Hungary, both of which are in the Schengen zone.
I still think it answers the question. Namely, the way you control your borders as an EU member state is by abandoning the Schengen agreement.
Lmao in the literal sense, yes, that would be how to do it. I was referring to the practicality of that, particularly as they've shown no sign nor mention of negotiating an exit from Schengen or even Article 50 (even less likely). Frankly, I think this is hollow political pandering, at least for now.
And for what purpose?
We are a transit country for most of migrants. If Czech/ german / polish borders are closed they can't pass through our country so it makes sense to close down borders as well. Both parties would do it. I hate Fico just fyi
A lot of countries in the EU are starting on border controls. It's not something that's a given, you can restore those.
